In Zion Then I'll Sing

To celebrate your Praise, O Lord,

I will my Heart prepare;

To all the list'ning World Your Word,

Your wond'rous Works declare.

The thought of them shall to my soul

exalted pleasure bring;

Whilst to Your Name, O thou most High,

triumphant praise I sing.

In Zion then I'll sing Your praise,

to all that love Your Name;

And with loud shouts of grateful Joy

Your saving pow'r proclaim.

The Lord for ever lives, who has

his righteous throne prepared;

Impartial Justice to dispense,

to punish or reward.

God is a constant sure defense

against oppressing foes;

As troubles rise, his power and might

protects us through our woes

In Zion then I'll sing Your Praise,

to all that love Your Name;

And with loud shouts of grateful Joy

Your saving pow'r proclaim.

All those who have his Goodness prov'd,

will in his Truth confide;

Whose Mercy ne'er forsook the man

that on his help relied.

Sing Praises therefore to the Lord,

from Zion his abode;

Proclaim his deeds, till all the world,

confess no other God.

In Zion then I'll sing Your Praise,

to all that love Your Name;

And with loud shouts of grateful Joy

Your saving pow'r proclaim.
