[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
I am Bmweary with the pain of Jacob's Awrestling
In the Gdarkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the AFear
But he Bmmet the morning wounded with a Ablessing
So in the nGight my Ahope lives Bmon
[Verse 2]
And when BmElisha woke surrounded by the fAorces
Of the Genemies of God, the enemies of GAod
He saw the Bmhills aflame with angels on their Ahorses
So in the Gnight my Ahope lives Bmon
[Chorus]
Oh, in the Bmnight, oh, in the Anight
Oh, in the Gnight, my Ahope lives Bmon
[Verse 3]
I see the Bmslave that toils beneath the yoke unAyielding
And I can Ghear the captive groan, hear the captive gAroan
For some Bmhand to stay the whip his foe is Awielding
Still in the Gnight my hAope lives Bmon
[Verse 4]
I see the Bmarmies of the enemy appAroaching
And the Gpeople driven, trembling, to the Ashore
But a dBmoorway through the waters now is Aopening
So in the Gnight my hAope lives Bmon
[Chorus]
Oh, in the Bmnight, oh, in the Anight
Oh, in the Gnight, my Ahope lives Bmon
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm
[Verse 5]
Like the sBmon who thought he'd gone beyond forgAiveness,
Too aGshamed to lift his head - but if he could lift his hAead
He would Bmsee his father running from a Adistance
In the nGight my hAope lives Bmon
[Verse 6]
I can Bmsee the crowd of men retrAeating
As he sGtands between the woman and their sAtones
And if Bmmercy in his holy heart is bAeating
Then in the nGight my hAope lives Bmon
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm
Bm A
G A Bm
[Verse 7]
Well, I Bmremember how they scorned the son of MAary
He was Ggentle as a lamb, gentle as a lAamb
He was Bmbeaten, he was crucified, and Aburied
And in the Gnight, my hAope was gBmone
[Verse 8]
But the Bmrulers of earth could not control HAim
They dGid not take his life - he laid it dAown
And all the cBmhains of death could never hope to hAold him
So in the nGight my hAope lives Bmon
[Instrumental]
Bm A
G A Bm
Bm A
G A Bm
[Verse 9]
And I can Bmsee the Son of Man desAcending
And the sGword he swings is brighter than the dAawn
And the gBmates of hell will never stand agAainst him
So in the nGight my hAope lives Bmon
[Chorus]
Oh, in the Bmnight, oh, in the Anight
Oh, in the Gnight, my Ahope lives Bmon
Oh, in the Bmnight, oh, in the Anight
Oh, in the Gnight, my Ahope lives Bmon

I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding

Still in the night my hope lives on

Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness,

Too ashamed to lift his head - but if he could lift his head

He would see his father running from a distance

G A Bm

In the night my hope lives on

[Verse 6]

I can see the crowd of men retreating

As he stands between the woman and their stones

And if mercy in his holy heart is beating

Well, I remember how they scorned the son of Mary

And in the night, my hope was gone

[Verse 8]

But the rulers of earth could not control Him

They did not take his life - he laid it down

And all the chains of death could never hope to hold him

So in the night my hope lives on

[Instrumental]

And I can see the Son of Man descending

And the sword he swings is brighter than the dawn

So in the night my hope lives on
