"The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.... And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest Himself shall establish her. The Lord shall count, when He writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah." (Psalm 87:2-6). "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he the reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together" (John 4:35,36).
Lift up your eyes and see the gates
As the door to heaven above.
This is why the Scripture states
God has set on them His love.
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Gates of Zion, as we're told
Sinners once defiled, broken,
Now may walk the streets of gold!
This and that one have been written
In the book of Zion's roll,
For God's Lamb for us was smitten,
Tasting death for every soul.
