Chorus 1
Cheer, o cheer, ye sons of zion!
Weary days will soon be past
Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us
Tells that heav’n is won at last
On that fair, celestial morning
Comes no cloud of grief or pain
In your peaceful tents abiding
Sorrow ne’er shall come again

Repeat Chorus 1

Cheer, o cheer, ye sons of zion!
Weary days will soon be past
Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us
Tells that heav’n is won at last

Chorus 2
Cheer, o cheer, the morn is breaking!
Gloomy night will disappear
Christ will come with sweet awaking
Happier days will soon be here
Long the pilgrim path we’ve wandered
Long we’ve hoped ’mid doubt and fear
Hard we’ve pressed thro’ many a battle
Now the day of peace is here

Repeat Chorus 2

Chorus 3
Cheer, o cheer, the morn is breaking!
Bright its beams of promise rise
Sing, o sing, ye heirs of zion!
Hear the welcome from the skies
“Come, ye blessèd of my Father,”
Faint no more ’mid doubts and fears
Heaven’s bright portal opes before you
Wait for you immortal years

Repeat Chorus 3
