The Promise

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: LD1888 #563 (1888) First Line: Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning! Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning! Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! 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; Gentile and Jew 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; Fallen are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

By thy Spirit, Bring thy ransomed people home. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come,-- Heaven and earth together keeping God's eternal Harvest Home: Saints and angels! Shout the world's great Harvest Home. Topics: Christ Master; Church Missions of; Church Revival of; Church Work of Scripture: Isaiah 21:11 Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

Cease thy mourning; Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will not restore thee; He himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliverance Zion's King will surely send.
