For years I've stood, I've held the line Spoke into the night And fought the devouring lion A peace I know has held me in As our Father draws close With an army to begin So I will feel the night For the coming of the Lord And I'll await the light That I have seen before Friend, I know you see it most The dark before the dawn Feels fierce and it feels close But may you hear the angels voice He says hold on one more hour To me will you, boy So I will feel the night For the coming of the Lord And I'll await the light That I have seen before We will praise Him We will praise Him He is coming We will praise Him
