Rise, crowned with light; great Salem rise!
Exalt thy head, and lift thine eyes;
See a long race thy courts adorn,
Of sons and daughters yet unborn.
See nations at thy gates attend,
And lowly in thy temple bend;
See crowds on every side arise,
Eager to mount above the skies.
See heaven its portals wide display,
And pour on thee a flood of day!
Thy day shall shine for ever bright,
For God himself shall be thy light.
What though the skies in smoke decay,
Rocks fall and mountains melt away!
Fixed is his word, his power remains:
Thy glorious King, Messiah, reigns!
