Who shall inhabit in thy hill
Who shall tow'rd thy chosen seat
With glory clad with strength arrayed
Within these walls be peace
With mines of wealth are sinners poor
With reverence let the saints appear
With sacred joy we lift our eyes
With songs and honours sounding loud
YE boundless realms of joy.
Ye faithful souls who Jesus know
Ye followers of the Prince of Peace
Ye golden lamps of heaven farewell
Ye humble souls that seek the Lord
Ye servants of the Lord
Ye sons of men a feeble race
Ye that obey the immortal King
Ye trembling souls dismiss your fears
ZEAL is that pure and heavenly flame
