Hail the day so long expected,
Hail the year of full release.
Zion's walls are now erected,
And her watchmen publish peace
Through our Shiloh's wide dominion,
Hear the trumpet loudly roar,
Babylon is fallen to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more.
All her merchants stand with wonder,
What is this that comes to pa**:
Murm'ring like the distant thunder
Crying, "Oh alas, alas"
Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles,
Priest and people, rich and poor;
Babylon is fallen to rise no more.
Blow the trumpet in Mount Zion,
Christ shall come a second time;
Ruling with a rod of iron
All who now as foes combine.
Babel's garments we've rejected
And our fellowship is o'er,
Babylon is fallen to rise no more
