Udgorn Seion, 1853 (Vol. 6):242-43
PRAISE OF ZION.
TUNE—“Rule
Britannia.”
O ZION, Zion, put on thy strength,
Before thee
terrible Babel
will bend;
The day of
glory will be to thee,—
And high thy
praise will sound forever.
Sing,
Zion, sing;
May
thy hallelujah now,
Echo
throughout the great existence.
Let all thy
enemies come,
Greatly
thirsting after thy blood,
With the
power of thy praise they will all perish,
From
fear—they shall all be gone.
Sing,
Zion, sing;
May
thy hallelujah now,
Echo
throughout the great existence.
[p. 243]
Daughter of Zion, be glad,
And
rejoice—saying ha, ha;
The great
day of thy freedom is nigh,—
O, burst into endless song.
Sing,
Zion, sing;
May
thy hallelujah now,
Echo
throughout the great existence.
The pride of
great Babel
will be brought down,
She will fall, she will fall lower than the ground!
And the
Saints will sing without pain,
On the marriage day of the Lamb’s bride.
Sing,
Zion, sing;
May
thy hallelujah now,
Echo
throughout the great existence.
I now see
the blessed day,
On the
eyelids of dawn’s shining light;
It will
come,—its brightness
Sparks all the songs of heaven.
Sing,
Zion, sing;
May
thy hallelujah now,
Echo
throughout the great existence.
May it
hasten, O may it hasten,
That is my
petition, that is my cry,
And bring
forth the will of God,
And in his
love forever live.
And
I shall sing,
In
my great happiness,
Despite the enemy everywhere.
Llanelli.
