Redeemer of Israel

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 de­liv­er­er

our all!

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?

How long we have wan­dered 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.

As child­ren of Zi­on

good tid­ings for us.

The to­kens al­rea­dy ap­pear.

Fear not

and be just

For the king­dom is ours.

The hour of red­emp­tion is near.
