LyicsHail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning,
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain;
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning,
Zion in tri-umph be-gins her mild reign.
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning,
Long by the prophets of Israel foretold;
Hail to the millions from bondage returning,
Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold.
Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
See, the dead risen from land and from ocean,
Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
