1 Upon the hills of holinesshe his foundation sets.
2 God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,delights in Sion's gates.
3 Things glorious are said of thee,thou city of the Lord.
4 Rahab and Babel I, to thosethat know me, will record:Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with itthe land of Palestine,And likewise Ethiopia;this man was born therein.
5 And it of Sion shall be said,This man and that man thereWas born; and he that is most Highhimself shall stablish her.
6 When God the people writes, he'll countthat this man born was there.
7 There be that sing and play; and allmy well-springs in thee are.
