REDEEMER OF ISRAEL

 

#70, Hymns

As with a mother’s tender hand

Thou leads thine own

Thy chosen band

To thee all praise and glory

#6, Hymns

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

 

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

 

Restore, my dear Savior

The light of thy face

Thy soul-cheering comfort impart

And let the sweet longing

For thy holy place

Bring hope to my desolate heart

 

My shadow by day

And my pillar by night

My King, my Deliv’rer, my all

 

Redeemer of Israel
