Jerusalem, Lift Up Your Voice!

Jerusalem, lift up your voice!

Daughter of Zion, now rejoice!

Your 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 heavenly birth

Who brings God’s peace to all the earth.
