1. On the mountain's top appearing,
   Lo! the sacred herald stands,
   Welcome news to Zion bearing,
   Zion, long in hostile lands:
   Mourning captive,
   God himself shall loose thy bands,
   (Repeat previous 2 lines)

2. Lo! thy sun is risen in glory,
   God himself appears thy Friend;
   All thy foes shall flee before thee;
   Here their boasts and triumphs end:
   Great deliverance
   Zion's King vouchsafes to send,
   (Repeat previous 2 lines)

3. Enemies no more shall trouble,
   All thy wrongs shall be redressed,
   For thy shame thou shalt have double,
   In thy Maker's favor blest;
   All thy conflicts
   End in an eternal rest
   (Repeat previous 2 lines)
