"Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces for a Refuge.... Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death" (Psalm 48:2-14).
Walk around Zion, that city sublime,
And tell of the towers and bulwarks you see.
God is our Guide, never hindered by time,
Who shows us the future with great certainty.
Come and discover the city of Zion,
That beautiful city, the joy of the earth!
See Christ exalted as Judah's great Lion,
Adored as the Lamb, and acclaimed for His worth.
How splendid is Zion in her elevation!
How joyful are those who surround the great King!
Now tell it to all of the next generation;
Explain it precisely, and don't miss a thing.
O Lord, we give thanks for the things that You show,
Declared by the prophets who thus testified,
That we may be training our children to know
The future unveiled with You as our Guide.
