Israel, Israel, God Is Calling

April 2016 General Conference

I left the church but went one Sunday and this song was sung. The Lord said to me very plainly "It's time to come back home to Zion." I began to weep. I took the lessons again and was re baptized a year later and received my temple endowments a couple months ago.

I resigned my church membership but I hear the Spirit calling me back to Zion. I'm in the process of returning back home. I'm weeping as I listen to this beautiful and powerful song as I'm feeling the Spirit.

I recently left the church. The Spirit of God hit me hard as I watched this. He asked "Are you ready to return to Zion?" I can't stand it any longer. I must return back to the church

One of my favorite hymns. Beautifully done.

❣They enunciate perfectly, it's such a higher experience when I can understand what they are singing.

After working with refugee children, I can never hear this hymn the same way.

Lyrics

Israel, Israel, God is 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 His floods of anger flow.
Come to Zion, come to Zion
Ere His floods of anger flow.

Israel, Israel, God is speaking.
Hear your great Deliv’rer’s voice!
Now a glorious morn is breaking
For the people of His choice.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
And within her walls rejoice.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
And within her walls rejoice.

Israel, angels are descending
From celestial worlds on high,
And to man their pow’r extending,
That the Saints may homeward fly.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
For Your coming, Lord, is nigh.
Come to Zion, come to Zion,
For Your coming, Lord, is nigh.

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.
