1. Lift you hearts in songs immortal,
O rejoice in this your day,
Till you vesture that is mortal
Shall at last be laid away!
Let God's praise be manifested,
Ever of His glory speak;
And although your faith be tested
Let your courage not grow weak!
2. Heavenly host are ever singing,
God hath taught their song to them. –
He would teach us to be bringing
Worthy songs on earth to Him.
That we all may love Him dearly,
He a heart to us did give,
And to sing His praise sincerely
We our voices did receive.
3. On the willows some, dejected,
Hung their harps and held their peace;
Zion's praises they neglected,
Letting all their music cease.
Not so we, who have evaded
Babel's yoke and tyranny;
Threatened, we are yet persuaded:
Zion's citizens are free!
