LyicsHo! Ye remnant oppress'd,
Scatter'd, bruised, and distress'd,
'Mong the nations in sadness that mourn,
Your captivity's broke,
Come away from the stroke,
And to Zion with gladness return.
Lo! A prophet of old,
Of a highway hath told,
Where the ransom'd of Israel may go;
Your Deliverer hath come,
And he calleth you home,
That his mercy and peace you may know.
Come to Salem again,
And for ever remain
In the places where David hath been;
Lo! In David's own mount
God hath open'd a fount
For your guilt, your transgression, and sin.
Let the leprous appear,
And be purified here,
And be banish'd from Zion no more;
On the Saviour believe,
And his mercy receive,
And before him devoutly adore.
