Jerusalem, Lift Up Thy Voice

lyricist: Johan Wallin, 1814. Geistliche Lieder, 1539

Jerusalem

lift up thy voice!

Daughter of Zi­on

now re­joice!

Thy King is come

whose migh­ty hand

Henceforth shall reign o’er ev­ery land.

He comes to ev­ery tribe and race

A mes­sen­ger of truth and grace:

With peace He comes from Heav­en above

On earth to found His realm of love.

In God’s eter­nal co­ve­nant

He comes for our sal­va­tion sent.

The star of hope moves on be­fore

And hosts as­sem­ble to adore.

Let all the world with one ac­cord

Now hail the com­ing of the Lord:

Praise to the Prince of heav’n­ly birth

Who bring­eth peace to all the earth.
