11s & 10s.
The day of joy.
Wake thee, O Zion! thy mourning is ended;
God—thine own God—hath regarded thy prayer;
Wake thee, and hail him in glory descended,
Thy darkness to scatter—thy wastes to repair.
2 Wake thee, O Zion! his spirit of power
To newness of life is awaking the dead;
Array thee in beauty, and greet the glad hour
That brings thee salvation, through Jesus who bled.
3 Saviour, we gladly, with voices resounding
Loud as the thunder, our chorus would swell:
Till from rock, wood and mountain, its echoes rebounding,
To all the wide world of salvation shall tell.
Palmer.
