Restoration Rejoicings

Tune: Lauda Anima

('Praise, my soul, the King of heaven')

Zechariah 8 v.1-8 {Old Testament prophet}

************

The LORD for Zion was jealous

With great fervour to them bless

The LORD says He is now returned

To Zion, of Him they learned

He will dwell in midst of city

Jerusalem it sure be

 

City of truth it shall called be

Holy mount of the LORD, see

There shall again old men, women

Dwell within the streets therein

The elderly be not forsook

They shall be seen therein, look

 

Streets of the city shall be full

Of boys and girls playing all

If this marvellous to you be

Should it be so unto me?

Says the LORD of hosts, and behold

I will save you, it be told

 

From east and west He will them bring

They shall return, to Him sing

In Jerusalem they shall dwell

And of His works they shall tell

He their God and they His people

In truth and righteousness all
