|
<p>Wake, isles of the South! Your redemption is near,<br>
|
|
No longer repose in the borders of gloom;<br>
|
|
The strength of His chosen in love shall appear,<br>
|
|
And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb,<br>
|
|
And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb.</p>
|
|
<p>The billows that girt you, the wild waves that roar,<br>
|
|
The zephyrs that play where the ocean storms cease,<br>
|
|
Shall bear the rich freight to your desolate shore,<br>
|
|
Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace,<br>
|
|
Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace.</p>
|
|
<p>On the islands that sit in the regions of night,<br>
|
|
The lands of despair, to oblivion a prey,<br>
|
|
The morning will open with healing and light,<br>
|
|
The glad star of Bethlehem brighten today,<br>
|
|
The glad star of Bethlehem brighten today.</p>
|
|
<p>The heathen will hasten to welcome the time,<br>
|
|
The dayspring, the prophet in vision once saw,<br>
|
|
When the beams of Messiah will ’lumine each clime,<br>
|
|
And the isles of the ocean will wait for His law,<br>
|
|
And the isles of the ocean will wait for His law.</p>
