Zion arise, lo the dark clouds are falling

Author: Theodore E. Curtis Appears in 1 hymnal

Zion Asleep.

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O that now mine eyes were fountains Lyrics: O that now mine eyes were fountains, That I night and day might weep, To see Zion in the desert, On her journey gone asleep. In its sin the wide world lying, Zion halted—sleeping fast: With thy breath to wake the valley, Come, eternal Spirit, haste! Zion, wake! O hear the groaning Of the earth beneath her wrong; Time it is that thou wert stirring, Why, O why hast slept so long? Slumbered hast thou many ages, And thy Lord account hath kept: Shall thy foes say, Zion, Zion! “None, as thou, so long hath slept!”
