Lilies on parchéd ground shall grow;
And gladness spring on every tree;
4The weak be strong, the fearful bold,
The deaf shall hear, the dumb shall sing,
The lame shall walk, the blind behold;
And joy through all the earth shall ring.
5Monarchs and slaves shall meet in love;
Old pride shall die, and meekness reign,--
When God descends from worlds above,
To dwell with men on earth again.
