Thread Name: Lyr Req: Zion, Awake! (Thy slumber break...)
Subject: Lyr Add: DAUGHTER OF ZION (Adeline F. Webb)
Well, this song (or poem?) contains the right words:


From Gospel in All Lands, Volume 22 (New York: Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, May, 1901), page 224:


DAUGHTER OF ZION.
By Adeline F. Webb.

O Daughter of Zion, rejoice and be glad;
Thy King cometh to-day in majesty clad.
Awake from thy slumber, break forth into song,
With jubilant rapture his praises prolong.

CHORUS: Arise, arise, in thy bridal adorning,
The Star of the Morning appears in the sky;
Thy Bridegroom returns, millennium is dawning.
O Queen of the Century! Daybreak is nigh.

O Daughter of Zion, arise now and shine,
Thy long night is past, and a glory divine
Is risen upon thee; awake, O awake!
With the century's dawning thy morning doth break.

Go publish the tidings, "God reigneth on high,"
Go publish sweet peace and good will far and nigh,
Salvation proclaim to the lost and enslaved,
Christ sprinkles the nations, and they shall be saved.

O Church of Jehovah and Daughter of God,
Christ Jesus before thee this pathway hath trod;
Break forth into joy, sing together, be free,
Thy King in his majesty cometh to thee.

Elizabethtown, N. J.
