Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!

Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!

Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning!

Zion, in triumph, begins her glad reign.

See the dead risen from land and from ocean;

Praise to Jehovah ascending on High;

Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion;

Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
