Song Lyrics
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning
Zion in triumph begins her mild reign
Hail 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
Lo, 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
See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean
Praise to the Savior ascending on high
Fallen the engines of war and commotion
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky
Words public domain
