Conversion of the Jews

James Montgomery • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 147:2

Verse 1

Daughter of Zion! from the dust Exalt thy fallen head; Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead.

Verse 2

Awake! awake! put on thy strength, Thy beautiful array; The day of freedom dawns at length, The Lord's appointed day.

Verse 3

Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, And send thy heralds forth; Say to the South, Give up thy charge, And keep not back, O North.

Verse 4

They come, they come! thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam, Have heard thy voice in distant lands, And hasten to their home.
