Restoring Rejoicings

Tune: Malvern

(\'Jesus, where\'er thy people meet\')

Zephaniah 3 v.14-20

********

Sing, O daughter of Zion, be glad

Rejoice in the LORD, not be sad

Shout, Israel, exult, whole-hearted

Enemy from you departed

 

The LORD has now taken away

Your judgements, confident here pray

For the Lord, your King, He amidst you

Shall remove evil, you renew

 

Then it be said, Zion, fear not

For the LORD helps you, happy lot

The LORD in midst of you, mighty

His favour, graces, you shall see

 

He will save, will o\'er you rejoice

He will joy o\'er you, you His choice

Will in His love rest, bring you peace

Joy o\'er you with singing, not cease

 

He will save poor, afflicted ones

For they be His daughters and sons

Will make them a name, a praise too

Great things for them He sure will do
