6 ContributorsZion’s Daughter LyricsZion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened, that have brought the Saviour near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice finally on the way

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

That's the way it happened many years ago
With the sky above the shining in a wonderous stroll
