[Verse 1]

Fill your lungs, oh daughter of Zion
Fill them with great songs of joy
Shout it out from the highest mountain
The bridegroom comes to take His bride
He has not forgotten you, no!
Understand that you are His
He rejoices over you with singing
The King will bathe
Your heart with love

[Chorus]

Oh, city of gold, do not fear
His mercy has come very near
A promise so old is in your ear
Listen again, it is so clear

[Verse 2]

Wait for Him and tremble
Before He weds He’ll purify
In the fire of His jealous anger
He will remove your stains of pride
Be glad! Let your heart rejoice!
He takes great delight in you
And do not let your hands hang limp,
O Zion!
He just wants to bring you home

[Chorus]

Oh, city of gold, do not fear
His mercy has come very near
A promise so old is in your ear
Listen again, it is so clear

Hear O Israel
The Lord our God is One
(x2)
He is mighty to save…
(x4)

[Bridge]

He will gather all the lost
He will rescue all the lame
And your fortunes He’ll restore
He’ll give you honour and praise
