353. Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness

1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more;
Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day-star of gladness,
Rise! for the night of thy sorrow is o'er.

Refrain:
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.

2 Strong were Thy foes; but the arm that subdued them,
And scattered their legions, was mightier far;
They fled like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them,
Vain were their steeds, and their chariots of war. [Refrain]

3 Daughter of Zion, the Power that hath saved thee
Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be;
Shout! for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee,
Th'oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free!

Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more,
Shall oppress thee no more, no more, no more.

Amen.
