God himself will loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well-beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee:
He himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
