Hark! 'tis the Prophet of the skies
Proclaims redemption near;
The night of death and bondage flies,
The dawning tints appear.
Zion, from deepest shades of gloom,
Awakes to glorious day;
Her desert wastes with verdure bloom?
Her shadows flee away.
The glad'ning news, conveyed afar,
Remotest nations hear;
To welcome Judah's rising Star,
The ransom'd tribes appear.
Fair Lebanon shall hear his voice,
And lands where Jordan flows.
With Sharon's desert shall rejoice,
And blossom as the rose.
