“Give us room, that we may dwell,”
Zion's children cry aloud:
See their numbers—how they swell!
How they gather like a cloud!
Oh how bright the morning seems!
Brighter from so dark a night:
Zion is like one that dreams,
Filled with wonder and delight.
Lo! thy sun goes down no more,
God. himself will be thy light;
All that caused thee grief before
Buried lies in endless night.
Zion, now arise and shine!
Lo! thy light from heaven is come:
These that crowd from far are thine;
Give thy sons and daughters room.
