1. O Zion, rise in glory 

and shine before thy Lord;

behold the wondrous story 

unfolded in His Word!

Though pow’rs of darkness hover 

to slay thee at thy birth,

thy radiance yet shall cover 

the nations of the earth.

2. His guardian care is o’er thee; 

His hand shall lift thee high;

the nations bow before thee, 

and kings to thee draw nigh.

Lift up thine eyes! Around thee 

they throng, a countless band!

The Lord’s right arm shall found thee; 

His voice shall bid thee stand.
