Redeemer of Israel

Latter-day Saints’ Psalmody, 319


1. Redeemer of Israel, Our only delight, On whom for a blessing we call; Our shadow by day, and our pillar by night Our King, our Deliv’rer, our all!

2. We know he is coming To gather his sheep, And lead them to Zion in love; For why in the valley of death should they weep, Or in the lone wilderness rove?

3. How long we have wander’d As strangers in sin, And cried in the desert for thee! Our foes have rejoiced when our sorrows they’ve seen, But Israel will shortly be free.
