Redeemer of Israel
Redeemer of Israel
1. Redeemer of Israel,Our only delight,On whom for a blessing we call;Our shadow by day,and our pillar by nightOur King, our Deliv’rer, our all!
2. We know he is comingTo gather his sheep,And lead them to Zion in love;For why in the valleyof death should they weep,Or in the lone wilderness rove?
3. How long we have wander’dAs strangers in sin,And cried in the desert for thee!Our foes have rejoicedwhen our sorrows they’ve seen,But Israel will shortly be free.
