The Redeemed of the Lord

The re­deemed of the Lord shall re­turn

To Zi­on with mu­sic and song;

And dai­ly sweet les­sons of mer­cy will learn

As they journey the path­way along.

With joy and with sing­ing

Thanksgiving and praise

Their sweet voic­es ring­ing

In tri­umph­ant lays;

His mer­cy and good­ness

Shall still be their song

As home­ward to Zi­on

They jour­ney along.

The re­deemed of the Lord shall re­turn

From lands where

as cap­tive

they sighed;

With love and de­vo­tion their spir­its shall burn

As they sing of the One cru­ci­fied.

The re­deemed of the Lord shall re­turn

With sing­ing for Zi­on’s bright day;

Far

far on the hill­tops their glad eyes dis­cern

And sor­row and fear flee away.
