Hymn 269<br>
[[L.M.]]<br>
1. O Zion, when I think on thee,<br>
I long for pinions like the dove,<br>
And mourn to think that I should be<br>
So distant from the land I love.

2. A captive exile, far from home,<br>
For Zion's sacred walls I sigh,<br>
With ransomed kindred there to come,<br>
And see Messiah eye to eye.

3. While here, I walk on hostile ground,<br>
The few that I can call my friends,<br>
Are like myself, in fetters bound,<br>
And weariness our steps attends.

4. But yet we hope to see the day<br>
When Zion's children shall return;<br>
When all our griefs shall flee away,<br>
And we no more again shall mourn.

5. The thought that such a day will come,<br>
Makes e'en the exile's portion sweet,<br>
Though now we wander far from home,<br>
In Zion soon we all shall meet.
