The Hill of Zion 553

Tune: Benjamin Franklin White, 1859
Alto: Miss Minnie Floyd, 1902
Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707
Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)
The hill of Zion yields,
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.

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