2Awake, awake; put on thy strength,

Thy beautiful array;

The day of freedom dawns at length,

The Lord's appointed day.

3Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge,

And send thy heralds forth;

Say to the south, "Give up thy charge,

And keep not back, O north!"

4They come, they come;--thine exiled bands.

Where'er they rest or roam,
