LyicsFor Zion's sake I will not rest
I will not hold my peace
Until Jerusalem be blest,
And Judah dwell at ease;
Until her righteousness return
As daybreak after night-
The lamp of her salvation burn
With everlasting light.
The Gentiles shall her glory see,
And kings declare her fame;
Appointed unto her shall be
A new and holy name.
The watchmen on her walls appear,
And day and night proclaim,
"Zion's Deliverer is near;
Make mention of his name."
Go through, go through, prepare the way
The gates wide open fling;
With loudest boice let heralds say,
"Behold thy coming King."
