When God builds up fair Zion’s walls,
More firm than solid brass;
When sinners listen to his calls,
And trust his promised grace:
When he erects his kingly throne,
Where Satan’s seat had been,
Casts high imaginations down,
And makes the leprous clean:
When those who once his truth denied,
Now seal it with their blood,
And rebels who his laws defied,
Pronounce them just and good —
‘Tis then his glory breaketh forth,
As from a cloud, the sun;
And angels shout to see on earth,
A little heaven begun.
Justice and truth and holiness,
Wisdom and power divine,
Uniting all their varied rays,
With brightest lustre shine.
Great God, to thee the work belongs,
To thee be all the praise;
Le every heart and every tongue,
Loud hallelujahs raise.
