- 1Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning,
- Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
- Hush'd be the accents of sorrow and mourning,
- Zion in triumph begins her mild reign.
- 2Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning,
- Long by the prophets of Israel foretold;
- Hail to the millions from bondage returning!
- Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold.
- 3Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
- Streams ever copious are gliding along;
- Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing,
- Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song.
- 4See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean,
- Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
- Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion,
- Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
