Hail the day so long expected,
Hail the year of full release.
Zion’s walls are now erected,
See the world’s divide increase.
Throughout Shiloh’s wide dominion,
Long the seventh trump sounds forth!
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 with wonder;
What is this that’s come to pass?
All they’ve built is torn asunder,
Crying oh, alas, alas!
Swell the sound all ye His people,
God in wrath has shut the door.
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.
Hear the trumpets from Mount Zion,
Christ has come a second time.
Ruling with a rod of iron
All who now as foes combine.
Babel’s garments God rejected,
Their alliance now 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.
