D G D G A7 Our foes have rejoiced When our sorrows they’ve seen, D A7 D But Israel will shortly be free. verse 4 D G D A D As children of Zion, Good tidings for us. D A E7 A The tokens already appear. D G D G A7 Fear not, and be just, For the kingdom is ours. D A7 D The hour of redemption is near. Verse 5 D G D A D Restore, my dear Savior, The light of thy face; D A E7 A Thy soul-cheering comfort impart; D G D G A7 And let the sweet longing For thy holy place D A7 D Bring hope to my desolate heart. Verse 6 D G D A D He looks! and ten thousands Of angels rejoice, D A E7 A And myriads wait for his word; D G D G A7 He speaks! and eternity, Filled with his voice, D A7 D Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.
