[Verse 1]
Bm A
I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling
G A
In the darkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the Fear
Bm A
But he met the morning wounded with a blessing
G A Bm
So in the night my hope lives on
[Verse 2]
Bm A
And when Elisha woke surrounded by the forces
G A
Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God
Bm A
He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses
G A Bm
So in the night my hope lives on
[Chorus]
Bm A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
G A Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
[Verse 3]
Bm A
I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding
G A
And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan
Bm A
For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding
G A Bm
Still in the night my hope lives on
[Verse 4]
Bm A
I see the armies of the enemy approaching
G A
And the people driven, trembling, to the shore
Bm A
But a doorway through the waters now is opening
G A Bm
So in the night my hope lives on
[Chorus]
Bm A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
G A Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm
[Verse 5]
Bm A
Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness,
G A
Too ashamed to lift his head--but if he could lift his head
Bm A
He would see his father running from a distance
G A Bm
In the night my hope lives on
[Verse 6]
Bm A
I can see the crowd of men retreating
G A
As he stands between the woman and their stones
Bm A
And if mercy in his holy heart is beating
G A Bm
Then in the night my hope lives on
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm

G A Bm
[Verse 7]
Bm A
Well I remember how they scorned the son of Mary
G A
He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb
Bm A
He was beaten, he was crucified, and buried
G A Bm
And in the night, my hope was gone
[Verse 8]
Bm A
But the rulers of earth could not control Him
G A
They did not take his life--he laid it down
Bm A
And all the chains of death could never hope to hold him
G A Bm
So in the night my hope lives on
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm
Bm A
G A Bm
[Verse 9]
Bm A
And I can see the Son of Man descending
G A
And the sword he swings is brighter than the sun
Bm A
And the gates of hell will never stand against him
G A Bm
So in the night my hope lives on
[Chorus]
Bm A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
G A Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
Bm A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
G A Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
