LyicsON the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing-
Zion, long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive,
God himself will loose thy bands.
Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful prov'd?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmov'd?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well belov'd.
God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He himself appears thy Fried;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliv'rance
Zion's King will surely send.
Peace and joy shall now attend thee;
All thy warfare now be past;
God thy Saviour will defend thee;
Victory is thine at last;
All thy conflicts
End in everlasting rest.
