LyicsAWAKE, O Zion's daughter! rise;
Shake off thy dust; no more repine;
Let gladness sparkle in thine eyes,
In all thy fairest garments shine.
Behold thy King, expected long,
In humble pomp at length appears;
Amidst yon praising infant throng
His meek majestic head he rears.
No fiery steed he rides; he sways
No tinsel rod of earthly reign;
A colt, ne'er us'd till now, conveys
To thee thy lowly Prince divine:
Here's no vain crowd, no gaudy show:
Babes, taugh of Heav'n, resound his praise;
His paths the Galileans strow
With branches of triumphant peace.
With ardent zeal to crown the law,
He enters grand! See, there he is!
His presence strikes a gen'ral awe;
The wonder circles, Who is this?
He visits now his Father's house,
And shows himself the Son and Heir:
He frowns away all vile abuse,
Smiles on his babes who praise him there.
THIS first day of the week, he shows
A pledge of joys before unknown.
When he should rise, and wide diffuse
The oil of joy among his own.
The blind and lame, by him reliev'd,
His saving light and strength proclaim:
His foes with shame and spite are griev'd,
To see his works and hear his fame.
Hosanna! thronging myriads shout
Jehovah brings salvation nigh!
Hosanna! ev'ry babe cries out,
Jehovah, send prosperity.
To him, who, in Jehovah's name,
Draws nigh to save, all praise belongs:
Peace reigns in heav'n, with ev'ry beam
Of glory in the highest ones.
Salvation unto David's Son!
All blessing unto Israel's King!
His kingdom blessed be alone,
And bless'd the people of his reign.
In all the earth, how worthy is,
O Lord, our Lord, thy glorious name!
From infant lips thou perfect'st praise:
Thy strength, to put thy foes to shame.
