Tune: Arlington CM

1 Upon the holy hills the LORD
Has His foundation laid;
2 He loves the gates of Zion more
Than dwellings Jacob made.
 
3 O city of our God, there are
Things glorious said of thee
4 I’ll mention Egypt, Babylon,
Among those knowing me.
 
5 And so of Zion it is said,
“Each one was born in her;”
And He that is Himself Most High,
He has established her.
 
6 The LORD, when listing peoples, notes,
“This is a man born there!”
7 And singers with their minstrels say,
“Our fountains in thee are.”
