Day of Our Lord

Where have you been
Forsaken and hated
With no one passing through
I will make you
An everlasting pride
A joy from generation to generation
Then you will know that I, the Lord,
Am your Savior
And I am your Redeemer
The holy one of Jacob

To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord

No longer will you need the sun
For light by day
Nor for brightness will the moon
Give you light
But you will have the Lord
For an everlasting light
And your God
For your glory
The smallest will become a clan
The least a mighty nation

To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord

Beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
Garment of praise
For the faint of heart

To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord
