Fear Not, O Zion’s Daughter

Fear not

O Zi­on’s daugh­ter

He comes

He comes

thy king!

He comes in low­ly great­ness;

Lift up thy voice and sing!

He comes with love and bless­ing.

With glo­ry

light for thee;

A day of great sal­va­tion

A year of ju­bi­lee.

As Prince of peace He com­eth

Desire of na­tions He;

As Bride­groom He ap­pear­eth

At mid­night

wake and see.

As king of earth He com­eth

Creation’s theme and song;

Let Heav’n be­gin the chor­us

And earth its notes pro­long.

He comes to spoil the spoil­er

To judge

avenge and reign;

He comes to bind the strong one

In ev­er­last­ing chain.

Not now in shame and weak­ness

As bear­er of our sin

But comes in roy­al splen­dor

His king­dom to begin.

His scep­ter now disp­lay­ing

He comes as crown­èd king;

Creation

rise in tri­umph:

Oh

lift thy voice and sing!

Fear not

O Zi­on’s daugh­ter

Fear not

thou bur­dened earth

Redemption’s day now com­eth

Thy day of se­cond birth!
