Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning; Zion in triumph begins her mild reign. 2 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. 3 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. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-2 Used With Tune: WESLEY
