Here is hope for all the people

Here is hope for all the people,
here is healing for the hurt,
here is joy and celebration,
all God's Spirit can exert;
constant love and exultation,
all God's people deemed of worth,
heralding for all the nations,
peace to cover all the earth.

Zion once had mourned in sadness,
ashes once had crowned each brow,
hopelessness had been their watchword,
gladness is their garland now....


Verse 2 continues followed by verse 3
