LyicsRejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, the wilderness shall bloom.
And Zion's children then shall sing,
The deserts are all blossoming;
The Gospel banner, wide unfurl'd,
Shall wave in triumph o'er the world;
And ev'ry creature, bond or free,
Shall hail the glorious jubilee.
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, Jerusalem shall sing;
From Zion shall the law go forth,
And all shall hear, from south to north:
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice Jerusalem shall sing.
And truth shall sit on every hill,
And blessings flow in every rill;
And praise shall every heart employ,
And every voice shall shout, for joy,
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, Jerusalem shall sing.
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, the "Prince of Peace" shall reign.
And lambs may with the leopard play,
For naught shall harm in Zion's way:
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, the "Prince of Peace" shall reign.
The sword and spear, of needless worth,
Shall prune the tree and plough the earth:
For peace shall smile from shore to shore,
And nations shall learn war no more!
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming;
Rejoice, rejoice, the "Prince of Peace" shall reign.
