I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestlingIn the darkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the FearBut he met the morning wounded with a blessingSo in the night my hope lives onWhen Elisha woke surrounded by the forcesOf the enemies of God, the enemies of GodHe saw the hills aflame with angels on their horsesSo in the night my hope lives onI see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyieldingAnd I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groanFor some hand to stay the whip his foe is wieldingStill in the night my hope lives onI see the armies of the enemy approachingAnd the people driven, trembling, to the shoreBut a doorway through the waters now is openingSo in the night my hope lives onLike the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness,Too ashamed to lift his head--but if he could lift his headHe would see his father running from a distanceIn the night my hope lives onI can see the crowd of men retreatingAs he stands between the woman and their stonesAnd if mercy in his holy heart is beatingThen in the night my hope lives onI remember how they scorned the son of MaryHe was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lambHe was beaten, he was crucified, and buriedAnd in the night, my hope was goneBut the rulers of earth could not control HimThey did not take his life--he laid it downAll the chains of earth could never hope to hold himSo in the night my hope lives on
