1. Zion shall soon lift up her head,
And, call’d by grace, arise at length;
From dust, and darkness, and the dead,
Zion shall rise in Jesus’ strength—
2. Shall put her beauteous garments on,
Salvation, praise, and righteousness:
And, through the world her glory known,
The heathen shall her God confess.
3. An earthly sun no more her light;
The clouded moon conceals her face:
Jehovah sheds His glory bright
On all her scorn’d and sinning race.
4. Then shall her gates wide open stand,
And she the hallow’d court prepare;
For Gentile hosts in Judah’s land
Shall swell her praise and join her pray’r
