lyrics

Lord, hear your people’s cry - it has been far too long since we have known Your peace
All that we held holy has been laid waste and profaned by enemies
The stones of the temple have been cast down to the dust by evil hands
Great darkness surrounds us; we are as refugees within a foreign land

And we pray that soon will come the day when leads us in Your way Immanuel
We proclaim, O, bless the holy name of Him the prophets claim Immanuel

We wait for our redeemer; the one foretold Who hails from Jesse’s line
For You shall dwell within Him, He shall gird Himself with faithfulness and right
Just as the farmer gathers the harvest bounty to his granary,
So He will gather scattered exiles; to His banner all nations will rally

And we pray that soon will come the day when leads us in Your way Immanuel
We proclaim, O, bless the holy name of Him the prophets claim Immanuel

He will wield Your mercy, holiness will spring from Him like tongues of fire
With a glowing ember He will sear away the sin that taints our lives
He will be a refuge - a shelter from storm and a shade from heat
And on the mountain He will destroy forever the funeral sheet

And we pray that soon will come the day when leads us in Your way Immanuel
We proclaim, O, bless the holy name of Him the prophets claim Immanuel
