Hail the day so long expected, "¨
Hail the year of full release. "¨
Zion's walls are now erected, "¨
And her watchmen publish peace.
"¨Through our Shiloh's wide dominion, "¨
Hear the trumpet loudly roar, "¨
Babylon is fallen to rise no more.
"¨Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen "¨
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more. "¨"¨
All her merchants stand with wonder, "¨
What is this that comes to pass:
"¨Murm'ring like the distant thunder,
"¨Crying, "Oh alas, alas",
"¨Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles, "¨
Priest and people, rich and poor;
"¨Babylon is fallen to rise no more. "¨"¨
Blow the trumpet in Mount Zion, "¨
Christ shall come a second time; "¨
Ruling with a rod of iron "¨
All who now as foes combine. "¨
Babel's garments we've rejected,
"¨And our fellowship is o'er, "¨
Babylon is fallen to rise no more.
