Sion, look round with joyful eyes,
On all those gathering nations gaze,
Behold, with one consent they rise,
And flock, and flow to thy embrace!
Thy countless sons and daughters see;
They come from far with duteous speed,
Come to be nurs’d, and fed by thee,
With milk sincere, and living bread.
Sion, look round with joyful eyes
