Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The Lord doth long to show His grace,
On high He waits with patient face,
To pour compassion from above;
A God of justice, full of love.
How blest are they who seek His ways,
And long for Him through all their days.
[Chorus]
O hear His voice, both soft and clear,
"This is the way, My child draw near."
His light shall shine, seven times bright,
And heal our wounds with holy might.
[Verse 2]
Zion's child, Jerusalem's heart,
No more shall weeping be your part.
At your cry's sound, He'll gracious be,
His answer swift, your spirit free.
Though bread of want and water's strife
Have been the portion of your life.
[Chorus]
O hear His voice, both soft and clear,
"This is the way, My child draw near."
His light shall shine, seven times bright,
And heal our wounds with holy might.
[Verse 3]
Your Teacher, hidden once from sight,
Now stands revealed in glorious light.
Your eyes shall see, your heart shall know,
The One who guides where'er you go.
A voice behind, both firm and kind,
Directs your steps, renews your mind.
[Chorus]
O hear His voice, both soft and clear,
"This is the way, My child draw near."
His light shall shine, seven times bright,
And heal our wounds with holy might.
[Bridge]
The moon shall shine as bright as day,
The sun seven times its normal ray.
Like seven days compressed in one,
God's glory bright as noonday sun.
[Verse 4]
When God binds up His people's pain,
And heals the wounds that did remain,
His light shall bathe all in its glow,
And we His perfect peace shall know.
[Chorus]
O hear His voice, both soft and clear,
"This is the way, My child draw near."
His light shall shine, seven times bright,
And heal our wounds with holy might.
[Outro]
In grace He waits, in love He heals,
His justice and compassion sealed.
Walk in His way, heed His command,
Restored and guided by His hand
[Outro]
In grace He waits, in love He heals,
His justice and compassion sealed.
Walk in His way, heed His command,
Restored and guided by His hand
