[Verse 1]
D G D A D
Redeemer of Israel, Our only delight,
D A E7 A
On whom for a blessing we call,
D G D G A7
Our shadow by day And our pillar by night,

Our King, our Deliv’rer, our all!
[Verse 2]
D G D A D
We know he is coming To gather his sheep
D A E7 A
And lead them to Zion in love,
D G D G A7
For why in the valley Of death should they weep
D A7 D
Or in the lone wilderness rove?
[Verse 3]
D G D A D
How long we have wandered As strangers in sin
D A E7 A
And cried in the desert for thee!
D G D G A7
Our foes have rejoiced When our sorrows they’ve seen,
D A7 D
But Israel will shortly be free.
[Verse 4]
D G D A D
As children of Zion, Good tidings for us.
D A E7 A
The tokens already appear.
D G D G A7
Fear not, and be just, For the kingdom is ours.
D A7 D
The hour of redemption is near.
[Verse 5]
D G D A D
Restore, my dear Savior, The light of thy face;
D A E7 A
Thy soul-cheering comfort impart;
D G D G A7
And let the sweet longing For thy holy place
D A7 D
Bring hope to my desolate heart.
[Verse 6]
D G D A D
He looks! and ten thousands Of angels rejoice,
D A E7 A
And myriads wait for his word;
D G D G A7
He speaks! and eternity, Filled with his voice,
D A7 D
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.
