LyicsRejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming,
Rejoice, rejoice, the wilderness shall bloom,
And Zion's children then shall sing,
The deserts all are blossoming,
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming,
Rejoice, rejoice, the wilderness shall bloom,
The gospel banner, wide unfurl'd,
Shall wave in triumph o'er the world
And every creature, bond or free,
Shall hail the glorious jubilee,
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time is coming,
Rejoice, rejoice the wilderness shall bloom.
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 promis'd time is coming,
Rejoice, rejoice, the "PRINCE OF PEACE shall reign;
And lambs may with the leopards play,
For nought shall harm in Zion's way.
Rejoice, rejoice, the promis'd 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 promis'd time is coming,
Rejoice, rejoice, the "PRINCE OF PEACE" shall reign.
