LyicsDaughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more:
Brighter o'er the hills dawns the day-star of gladness,
Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er.
Strong were thy foes, but the arm that subdued them,
And scatter'd their legions, was mightier far;
Thy fled, like the chaff, from the scourge that pursued them,
Vain were their steeds and their chariots of war.
Daughter of Zion, the pow'r that hath sav'd thee,
Extoll'd with the harp and the timbrel should be:
Shout! for the foe is destroy'd that enslav'd thee,
Th' oppressor is vanquish'd, and Zion is free.
