9831. Sons Of Zion, Raise Your Songs

1 Sons of Zion, raise your songs!
Praise to Zion’s king belongs;
His, the victor’s crown and fame;
Glory to the Savior’s name!

2 Sore the strife, but rich the prize,
Precious in the victor’s eyes;
Glorious is the work achieved,
Satan vanquished, man relieved!

3 Sing we then the victor’s praise;
Place the crown upon His brow;
Bid Him welcome to His throne;
He is worthy, He alone!

4 Place the crown upon His brow;
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Him the brightest seraph sings;
Heav’n proclaims Him "King of kings."
