Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning

Author: T. Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! Hush'd be the accents of sorrow and mourning, Zion in triumph begins her mild reign. 2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Long by the prophets of Israel foretold; Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fallen are the engines of war and commotion; Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! 8 O ye who bear Christ’s holy name, Give God all praise and glory! All ye who own His power, proclaim Aloud the wondrous story; Cast each false idol from His throne, The Lord is God, and He alone: To God all praise and glory!
