Hail the day so long expected
Hail the day of full release
Zion's walls are now erected
And her watchmen publish peace
Throughout Shiloh's wide dominions
Hear the trumpet loudly roar:
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
All her merchants stand in wonder
What is this that comes to pa**?
Murmuring like the distant thunder,
And crying, "Oh alas, alas."
Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles,
Priests and the people, rich and poor:
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Blow the trumpet in Mount Zion,
Christ is 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, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more
