Lyrics:
Rise from your slumber Days without number Wait for you Shake off your losses So many causes to put your shoulder to It’s time to mend Time to turn the next bend We depend on you to harmonize so Rise Rise
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness Awake, for thy foe shall oppress thee no more For bright o’er the hill dawns the day-star of gladness Arise for the night of thy sorrow is over Arise for the night of thy sorrow is over Arise
Though many thy foes, but the arm that subdued them and scattered their legions is mightier far They fled from the wrath of the scourge that pursued them for vain were their steeds and their chariots of war Vain were their steeds and their chariots of war Arise
Daughter of Zion, the power that saved thee Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be Rejoice for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee The oppressor is vanquished and Zion is free The oppressor is vanquished and Zion is free Arise!
(refrain by Jack Erdie; verses from Christian Science Hymnal)
