Seventh Sunday of Easter - Cantata Sunday

Sing aloud, O daughter Zion;
  shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
  O daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
  he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
  you shall fear disaster no more.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear, O Zion;
  do not let your hands grow weak.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
  a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
  he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
  as on a day of festival.”
I will remove disaster from you,
  so that you will not bear reproach for it.”
