| WAREHAM | 8 8 8 8 (L.M.) | William Knapp | | TRURO | 8 8 8 8 (L.M.) | Psalmodia Evangelica | | | 1. Triumphant Zion, lift thy head
from dust and darkness, and the dead;
though humbled long, awake at length,
|:and gird thee with thy Savior's strength.:|
2. Put all thy beauteous garments on,
and let thy excellence be known:
decked in the robes of righteousness,
|:the world thy glories shall confess.:|
3. No more shall foes unclean invade,
and fill thy hallowed walls with dread:
no more shall hell's insulting host
|:their victory and thy sorrows boast.:|
4. God, from on high, has heard thy prayer;
his hand thy ruins shall repair:
nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
|:to guard thee in eternal peace.:|
