[The hill of Zion yields]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Then let your songs abound,
And ev'ry tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high.
