Soon enough, sons and daughters,
You will see with your own eyes
What the Lord has done.
The true will believe.
Mere seeing is not believing,
But believing is seeing,
And I see and say to you who have hears:
Listen!
When testing comes, the false scatter,
An invading nation takes captive,
those who long for the world.
Yet a remnant remains
True to the Truth,
And faithful to the faithful.
We have been weary:
Beaten down,
But not defeated.
Now, the time has come
to favor Zion!
Today is the day of salvation;
Now is the time of God’s favor,
For those who will believe.
Build the House!
Build up, build up,
the road my people!
Clear away the stones,
And fill in the pits.
Clear the way,
Then Shear-Jashub will come.
The called out are called together
To Be and Build the Temple.
And the desired of all nations will come,
Then the Desired of nations above them.
The latter glory of this House
will be far greater,
And the latter rain will come.
We will shout: Glory! Glory!
To the God of glory
Who will fill the House!
Soon enough you will see,
And believers will realize:
It is the Lord who has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes!
