Israel, Godddess, God are calling

This is a rewrite of Israel, Israel, God is Calling. In order to include "Goddess" I took out the second Israel. I also made the rest of the lyrics gender inclusive.


Israel, Goddess, God are calling,
Calling thee from lands of woe.
Babylon the great is falling;
God shall all her tow’rs o’erthrow.
Come to Zion, come to Zion
Ere their floods of anger flow.
Come to Zion, come to Zion
Ere their floods of anger flow.

Israel, Goddess, God are speaking.
Hear your great Deliv’rers' voices!
Now a glorious morn is breaking
For the people of their choice.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
And within her walls rejoice.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
And within her walls rejoice.

3. Israel, angels are descending
From celestial worlds on high,
And to all their pow’r extending,
That the Saints may homeward fly.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
For your coming Lords are nigh.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
For your coming Lords are nigh.

4. Israel! Israel! Canst thou linger
Still in error’s gloomy ways?
Mark how judgment’s pointing finger
Justifies no vain delays.
Come to Zion, come to Zion!
Zion’s walls shall ring with praise.
Come to Zion, come to Zion!
Zion’s walls shall ring with praise.
