Cântăre From Babel to Zion

1. Now to the holy city

The faithful gather home;

To Zion’s mount of glory

With songs of joy they come.

Jerusalem the golden,

Jerusalem the free,

With joyful hearts and voices

The ransomed come to thee.

2. Now eye to eye beholding

The way-marks on the road,

All bound in love together,

They’re coming home to God:

One mind and mouth possessing,

They speak with one accord,

And in the heights of Zion

They shout and praise the Lord.

3. Sing glory to the Savior,

High over all the world;

On Zion’s heights forever

His banner is unfurled.

God’s church can be no longer

Obscured from human sight;

For see, on yonder mountain,

A city filled with light!

4. No longer Babel’s bondage

The bride of Christ can hold;

God’s children now are holy,

And free from Babel’s fold:

For it is fallen, fallen,

And it shall rise no more;

We cling alone to Jesus,

As did the saints of yore.
