LyicsDaughter of Zi-on! a-wake from thy sadness,
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more;
Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day-star of glad-ness;
A-rise, for the night of thy sor-row is o'er.
Daughter of Zi-on! awake from thy sadness,
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more, shall oppress thee nor more, no more, no more.
Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them,
And scattered their legions, was mightier far:
They fled like chaff from the scourge that pursued them:
How vain were their steeds and their chariots of war.
Daughter of Zion! &c.
Daughter of Zion! the power that hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be:
Shout! for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee,
The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free.
Daughter of Zion! &c.
