LyicsHail to the brightness of Zi-on's glad morn-ing!
Joy to the lands that in dark-ness have lain;
Hushed be the ac-cents of sor-row and mourning,
Zi-on 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, from all lands-from the isles of the ocean-
Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
