"How Glorious Is Our Lord in Zion" (Russian: Коль слáвен наш Госпóдь в Сиóне, tr. Kol' slaven nash Gospod' v Sione) is a hymn written in the spring of 1794 by the composer Dmitry Bortniansky to the verses of the poet Mikhail Kheraskov. It was the unofficial anthem of the Russian Empire in the late 18th - early 19th centuries. The text of the hymn is based on the 48th Psalm and is replete with Christian symbolism, and its music is close to individual Voices of the Great Znamenny Chant.
