The Tabernacle Choir sings the inspiring 19th century hymn, "Redeemer of Israel," composed by Freeman Lewis with Joseph Swain lyrics adapted by William W. Phelps and arranged by Mack Wilberg.

Lyrics:
Redeemer of Israel
Our only delight
On whom for a blessing we call
Our shadow by day
And our pillar by night
Our King, our Deliv'rer, our all

We know he is coming
To gather his sheep
And lead them to Zion in love
For why in the valley
Of death should they weep
Or in the lone wilderness rove

How long we have wandered
As strangers in sin
And cried in the desert for thee
Our foes have rejoiced
When our sorrows they've seen
But Israel will shortly be free

As children of Zion
Good tidings for us
The tokens already appear
Fear not, and be just
For the kingdom is ours
The hour of redemption is near
