The whole of nature groans with longing We ache for that promised glory Still we rejoice because we know Plans formed of old, faithful and sure The whole of nature groans with longing We wait for that promised glory Still we rejoice because we know That sorrow's end is coming He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces We'll sing this is our God we've waited for And he saved us He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces Here in the darkness of our mourning We wait for the Light that's coming And on that day we will return With joy and gladness singing He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces We'll sing this is our God we've waited for And He saved us He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces Behold, your God He will come and save you Behold, your God He will come and save you Behold, your God He will come and save you Behold, your God He will come and save you Behold, your God He will come and save you Behold, your God He will come and save you He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces We'll sing this is our God we've waited for And He saved us (Yeah He saved us) He will swallow up death And wipe the tears from our faces
