Concord 313

Tune: Oliver Holden, 1793
Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707
Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)
The men of grace have found
Glory begun below;
Celestial fruits on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow.

The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.

Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high.
