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.
 Stand on the height, O Jerusalem, and behold thy children,
   From the East and the West, gathered together by the Lord;
 From the North they come in the gladness of their God,
   From the isles afar off God hath gathered them.
 High mountains hath He abased into a plain for them;
   The hills fled at their entrance.
 The woods gave them shelter as they passed by;
   Every sweet-smelling tree God caused to spring up for them,
   That Israel might pass by in the visitation of the glory of their God.
 Put on, O Jerusalem, thy glorious garments;
   Make ready thy holy robe;
   For God hath spoken good concerning Israel, for ever and ever.
 Let the Lord do what He hath spoken concerning Israel and Jerusalem;
   Let the Lord raise up Israel by His glorious name.
The mercy of the Lord be upon Israel for ever and ever.
