There, where a better Joshua leads,
A Righteous Day will soon dawn clearer,
When all who follow now His banners,
Led on by His victorious Hand,
Shall win once more a Promised Land,
And sing in triumph loud Hosannas.
E’en now the Spring is at the door,
Green leaves shoot forth on fig-branch tender;
Fresh flowers appear on earth’s green floor;
New senses God to each will render;
