Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840
Hymn 270
P.M.
1. Children of Zion, awake from your sadness,
For soon all your foes shall oppress you no more;
Bright on your hills dawns the day star of gladness;
Arise! for the night of your sorrow's near o'er.
Children of Zion, awake from your sadness,
For soon all your foes shall oppress you no more.
2. Strong are your foes, but His arm will subdue them,
And scatter their armies to regions afar;
They'll flee like the chaff from the scourge that pursues them;
Vain is their strength and their chariots of war.
Children of Zion, awake from your sadness,
For soon all your foes shall oppress you no more.
3. Children of Zion, his power will save you,
O loudly extol it o'er land and the sea,
Shout! for the foe'll be destroyed that enslaved you,
The oppressor will vanish and Zion be free.
Children of Zion, awake from your sadness,
For soon, all your foes shall oppress you no more,
Shall oppress you no more, - no more.
