Udgorn
Seion, 1851:162-63
THE VOICE OF “ZION’S
TRUMPET.”
COME, come to the escape,
Flee to the refuge, hasten quickly
From the ugly oppression of Babylonia,
The day of its destruction is
drawing nigh.
See! thou canst
be delivered from thine enemies,
Stand bravely in thy part;
Yonder on the lovely mount Zion
Thou canst rejoice in a while.
O little flock, do not fear,
Obstacles will cease, burst out in
song,
Thy God will be thy protector
In the water and
in the fire.
Despite suffering long trials,
Among enemies on the earth,
Yonder on lovely mount Zion
Thou shalt have thy great
inheritance.
Stop, traveler, leave thy fears,
Cease thy grieving, cease thy pain,
Lift up thine eyes, dry thy tears,
See thy home with the Lamb;
Listen to the voice of the Prince of life,
See thy crown in thy hand,
Thou shalt be adorned with every blessing,
And wear immortality there.
[p. 163]
Sing, thy struggle is nearly finished,
Thou shalt have victory as thy part,
On thy lament comes a purpose,
Possessing freedom ere long;
If the captivity of cruel Babel,
Overwhelmed thee many times,
Away on lovely mount Zion
Thou wilt have joy at JOURNEY’S END !
