Lyrics

Thair was a wee weeda wumman caad Anna
Echtie-fower yeir oul

Echtie fower echtie fower echtie fower yeir oul

A proafitess merriet tae hir man
For seiven yeir

Seiven yeir, seiven yeir afore he deed

She wud stap ïn tha Hoose o God, prayin an fastin nicht an day
Nicht an day, nicht an day, she’d fast and pray

Lukin forrit tae Jerusalem bein set free
Tellin them, tellin them about tha wean

VERSE 1
The Lord draws near
To the brokenhearted
The Savior comes
To the crushed in spirit
Our flesh may fail
The storms assail
But He is my strength and song forever

VERSE 2
The Lord draws near
Through the night of waiting
The promised child
Anna’s hope fulfilled
We share in Christ
The bread of life
We know Him and make Him known forever

And all my heart Rejoices, rejoices
As angels lift Their voices to proclaim
Praise be to God
Redemption resounds
Till all the earth
Rejoices, rejoices

VERSE 3
The Lord will come
Our returning Savior
The blessed One
We have waited for
The shroud of fear
The veil of tears
Now pulled from our hope filled hearts forever

And all my heart Rejoices, rejoices
As angels lift Their voices to proclaim
Praise be to God
Redemption resounds
Till all the earth Rejoices, rejoices

Day and night
The prayers of the church are lifting
Day and night
A fragrance of hope

Day and night
She pleads for the lost and broken
Day and night
Until He comes

And all the church
Rejoices, rejoices
As angels lift their voices to proclaim
Praise be to God
Redemption resounds
Till all the earth Rejoices, rejoices

And all my heart Rejoices, rejoices
As angels lift their voices to proclaim
Praise be to God
Redemption resounds
Till all the earth
Rejoices, rejoices
