Let Us Hope

Verse 1
Where is the glory of Zion where her joy
Wormwood and gall are her portion
Her soul is bowed down to the dust
And faint, faint are her children with thirst
Wall upon wall laid around her stone on stone
Cry though she may for deliv’rance
Her prayers are dispersed in the wind
And her sins heavy upon her they lie
But these things I will call to my mind
And therefore I will hope

Chorus
That the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
And his mercies never come to an end
They are new ev’ry morning

Verse 2
Let us arise in the watches of the night
Pour out our heart to our Maker
As water is poured on the dust
Lift our hands lift our hands unto the Lord
Surely the Lord is our portion and our hope
Surely the people that seeks him
Shall see his salvation at last
Though we grieve we shall know joy in the end
And these things let us call to our minds
And therefore let us hope

Bridge
Let us hope in the Lord For in him is our joy and our strength
Let us trust in the Lord
He will build up his city again
Let us wait for the Lord
For the Bridegroom will come with the dawn
And his Bride will shine forth like the sun

Ending
For the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
And his mercies never come to an end
They are new ev’ry morning (2X)
