[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

[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

[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

[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
