4 'Tis God who did this City raise, And he will it repair, That it may be to his high praise, Himself also dwells there:
5 It is his Dwelling-place below, The Palace of our King; And all great Kings shall Gifts bestow, To make her glory ring
6 Throughout the Earth, to such degree Shall she her beauty spread; Her glory shall by great and small Be much admired.
7 Then sing, ye Saints, lift up your voice, Who do in Zion dwell; What People like unto you are, O happy Israel!
7 Then sing, ye Saints, lift up your voice, Who do in Sion dwell; What People like unto you are, O happy Israel!
