Songs of Expectation

Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band Singing songs of expectation Marching on towards the Promised Land One the voice on lips of thousands One the faith that never tires One the light of God's own presence Lighting up the path in which we tread So shout His praise He has overcome Our fears laid waste Defeated at the cross Hallelujah Sing the song of Paul and Silas Bound in chains and still they sang Lift your voice, declare His praises Every chain and prison door will break So shout His praise He has overcome Our fears laid waste Defeated at the cross So shout His praise He has overcome Our fears laid waste Defeated at the cross Hallelujah, hallelujah So shout His praise He has overcome Our fears laid waste Defeated at the cross Hallelujah, hallelujah Soon shall dawn a great awaking Night will pass as morning comes Chasing far the gloom and terror Singing God Almighty reigns forevermore God Almighty reigns forevermore
