O daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness

O daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;   Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more;And bright o’er thy hills dawns the daystar of gladness;   Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o’er.

Breaking through the clouds of darkness

Photograph by Steve Ryf

Breaking through the clouds of darkness,   Black with error, doubt, and fear;Lighting up each somber shadow,   With a radiance soft and clear;Filling every heart with gladness,   That its holy power feels,Comes the Christian Science gospel,   Sin it kills and grief it heals.
