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