Our bondage, it shall end by and by;
From Egypt’s yoke set free,
Hail the glorious jubilee,
And to Canaan we’ll return by and by.
Our Deliv’rer, He shall come by and by;
And our sorrows have an end,
With our threescore years and ten,
And vast glory crown the day by and by.
Though our enemies are strong, we’ll go on;
Though our hearts dissolve with fear,
Lo, Sinai’s God is near,
While the fiery pillar moves, we’ll go on.
From Egypt’s yoke set free,
Hail the glorious jubilee,
And to Canaan we’ll return by and by.
Our Deliv’rer, He shall come by and by;
And our sorrows have an end,
With our threescore years and ten,
And vast glory crown the day by and by.
Though our enemies are strong, we’ll go on;
Though our hearts dissolve with fear,
Lo, Sinai’s God is near,
While the fiery pillar moves, we’ll go on.
