1  O walk about, walk about Zion,

    Go round about her in love.

    O walk about, walk about Zion

    And count the towers thereof.

 2  O set your heart on her bulwarks,

    O set your heart on her walls,

    O set your heart on her bulwarks,

    Consider her palaces.

 3  In elevation how beauteous,

    The joy of all the earth!

    In elevation how beauteous

    Is Zion, that city of worth!

 4  O there is a river in Zion

    That flows so deep and so broad.

    O how the streams of that river

    Make glad the city of God!

 5  Praise waiteth for Thee, Lord, in Zion,

    Praise waiteth, O God, for Thee,

    Praise waiteth for Thee, Lord, in Zion,

    For Zion is filled with Thee.

 6  How great the Lord is in Zion,

    How greatly to be praised,

    How great He is in that city

    Which over the earth is raised.

 7  O bless the Lord out of Zion,

    O let His praises swell,

    O bless the Lord out of Zion,

    Ye who in Jerusalem dwell.

 8  The Lord bless thee out of Zion,

    The Lord bless thee o'er and o'er!

    The Lord bless thee out of Zion

    With life for evermore!

 9  Behold how good and how pleasant

    With all the brethren to be!

    Behold how good and how pleasant

    To dwell in unity!

 10  O tell it to all generations,

    O tell it to all who will come,

    O tell it to all generations,

    The Spirit and Bride say, "Come!"
