1.Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.Bright, o'er thy hills, dawns the day star of gladness,Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er.Chorus:Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.2. Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them,And scattered their legions, was mightier far;They fled like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them;In vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. [Chorus]3.Daughter of Zion, the power that hath saved thee,Extolled with the harp and the timbrel shall be;Shout: for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee;Th' oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free. [Chorus]
