Churches sing this differently...but what I'm used to hearing goes: "I'm bound for Mt Zion way out on a hill, I'm bound for Mt Zion, way out on a hill, I'm bound for Mt Zion, way out on a hill If anybody makes it, surely I will." Thats' pretty much the entire song... there's a great example on YouTube, just search WMBC Hymn choir. Good Luck!

Zion in Aramaic is pronounced as "Tziyon." It is a term often used in the Bible to refer to a hill in Jerusalem, or symbolically to the people of Israel.
Zion was the name of a hill on the outskirts of the Old City of Jerusalem and has been used to refer to Jerusalem, and the Land of Israel generally, in a poetic sense.
Mount Zion is an elevation West of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
Zion, or Sion, was originally a stronghold captured by David (the 2nd king of the Israelites); above it was built a temple and later the name extended to the whole hill; finally it became a name for the city of Jerusalem.
Zion, as a geographical and cultural entity, is often associated with religious and historical significance in Judaism and Christianity. The term "Zion" itself refers to a biblical location, specifically a hill in Jerusalem, and its concept has evolved over time. In the context of exploration, various explorers have noted and referenced Zion, but it is not attributed to a single discoverer. Instead, it holds a collective significance for many religious and cultural groups throughout history.
