Hymn
O Zion, tune thy voice and raise thy hands on high
O Zion, tune thy voice,
And raise thy hands on high;
Tell all the earth thy joys,
And boast salvation nigh.
Cheerful in God,
Arise and shine,
While rays divine
Stream all abroad.
He gilds thy mourning face
With beams that cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head.
The nations round
Thy form shall view,
With luster new
Divinely crowned.
In honor to His Name
Reflect that sacred light,
And loud that grace proclaim
Which makes thy darkness bright.
Pursue His praise,
Till sovereign Love
In worlds above
Thy glory raise.
There, on His holy hill,
A brighter Sun shall rise,
And with His radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies;
While round His throne,
Ten thousand stars
In nobler spheres
His influence own.
