About Zion's Daughter

"Zion's Daughter" is a 1982 Christmas single by German band Boney M., the second single to be released off their Christmas Album, released in November 1981. It was a re-worked up-tempo version of Georg Friedrich Händel's "See, the conqu'ring hero comes!" (a song from his oratorio "Judas Maccabaeus") with English lyrics by Fred Jay. The tune of the German advent carol is well known in England as part of Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs performed every year at the BBC's Last Night of the Proms concert. The single featured a manipulated photo from 1978 with new male singer Reggie Tsiboe inserted in place of original member Bobby Farrell. The single peaked at 41 in the German charts. In Scandinavia, "Feliz Navidad" was chosen as the 1982 Christmas single, and in Spain Ariola opted for "Jingle Bells". more »

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

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened, that have brought the Savior 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 wondrous glow

Now the world is waiting, people want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened, that all will say you're near

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
