The restoration of Israel. I DAUGHTER of Zion, from the dust Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead. 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, The day of freedom dawns at length, 3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, Say to the south," Give up thy charge, 4 They come, they come ;-thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam, Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 5 Thus, though the universe shall burn, 1 2 3 4 5 556.
