The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Then let your songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high. .....The Southern Harmony (1835)
The words have been set to various duple- and triple-time tunes by Bartholomew Brown (1792), Oliver Holden (1835), and Robert Lowry (1867).
