1 For Zion’s sake I will not rest
I will not hold my peace
Until Jerusalem be blest
And Judah dwell at ease;

2 Until her righteousness return
As daybreak after night—
The lamp of her salvation burn
With everlasting light.

3 The Gentiles shall her glory see,
And kings declare her fame;
Appointed unto her shall be
A new and holy name.

4 The watchmen on her walls appear,
And day and night proclaim,
"Zion’s deliverer is near;"
Make mention of His name.

5 The Lord upholds her with His hand,
And claims her for His own—
The diadem of Judah’s land
The glory of His crown.

6 Go through, go through, prepare the way,
The gates wide open fling;
With loudest voice let heralds say,
"Behold thy coming king!"
