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;
