1 Blow ye in Zion on the trumpet to summon the saints,

Cause ye to be heard in Jerusalem the voice of him that bringeth good tidings;

For God hath had pity on Israel in visiting them.

2 Stand on the height, O Jerusalem, and behold thy children,

From the East and the West, gathered together by the Lord;

3 From the North they come in the gladness of their God,

From the isles afar off God hath gathered them.

4 High mountains hath he abased into a plain for them;

The hills fled at their entrance.

5 The woods gave them shelter as they passed by;

Every sweet-smelling tree God caused to spring up for them,

6 That Israel might pass by in the visitation of the glory of their God.

7 Put on, O Jerusalem, thy glorious garments;

Make ready thy holy robe;

For God hath spoken good concerning Israel, forever and ever.

8 Let the Lord do what he hath spoken concerning Israel and Jerusalem;

Let the Lord raise up Israel by his glorious name.

9 The mercy of the Lord be upon Israel forever and ever.
