28

Shall stand aloft in strength,

And shout aloud in might,

And a Redeemer come to Zion at length.

Amen, amen, behold

The Lord's decree foretold.

E'en as Thou hast our souls afflicted sore,

So wilt Thou make us glad for evermore!

Wherefore wilt Thou forget us, Lord, for aye?

Mercy we crave!

O Lord, we hope in Thee alway,

Our King will save!
