Lyics

ZION, awake! thy strength renew;

Put on thy robes of beauteous hue;

Church of our God, arise and shine,

Bright with the beams of truth divine.



Soon shall thy radiance stream afar,

Wide as the heathen nations are;

Gentiles and kings thy light shall view,

All shall admire and love thee too.
