Lyrics

We wait for thy loving kindness, O Lord,
in the midst of thy temple.
Judah and Jerusalem, fear not, nor be dismayed.
tomorrow, go ye forth, and the Lord, he will be with you.
Stand ye still, and ye shall see the salvation of the Lord.
tomorrow, go ye forth, and the Lord, he will be with you. 
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
tomorrow, go ye forth and the Lord, he will be with you.
