Ch:
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!
Hail the day so long expected!
Hail the day of long release!
Zion’s walls are now erected
And her watchmen publish peace.
Throughout Shiloh’s wide dominions
Hear the mighty trumpets roar:
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
See the merchants stand in wonder;
What is this that comes to pass?
Murmuring like a distant thunder,
Crying, Oh! alas, alas!
Swell the ranks, ye kings and princes
Priests and people, rich and poor:
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
Sound the trumpets on 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 sure.
Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen,
