[Verse 1]
D G D
Now the days and hours and moments
D G A D
Of our suff’ring seem so long;
D G D
And the toilsome wait and wond’ring
D Bm A D
Threaten silence to our song.
D G D
Now our pain is real and pressing
D Bm D A
Where our faith is thin and weak,
A D G D
But our hope is set on Jesus;
D G A D
And we cling to him, our strength.

[Verse 2]
D G D
Oh eternal weight of glory!
D G A D
Oh inheritance divine!
D G D
We will see our Lord redeeming
D Bm A D
Every past and future time.
D G D
All our pains will be transfigured,
D Bm D A
Like the scars of Christ our Lord.
A D G D
We will see the weight of glory,
D G A D
And our broken years restored.

[Chorus]
D G D
For behold! I tell a myst’ry:
D Bm D A
At the trumpet sound we’ll wake
A G D
“Death is swallowed up in vict’ry!”
D G D A
When we meet our King of Grace
A G D
Every year we thought was wasted
D G F# Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm G D A D
All will be a passing moment
D Bm A D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song

[Verse 3]
D G D
We will see our wounded Savior.
D Bm A D
We’ll behold him face to face;
D G D
And we’ll hear our anguished stories
D Bm A D
Sung as vict’ry songs of grace.

[Chorus]
D G D
For behold! I tell a myst’ry:
D Bm D A
At the trumpet sound we’ll wake
A Bm D
“Death is swallowed up in vict’ry!”
D G D A
When we meet our King of Grace
A Bm D
Every year we thought was wasted
D G F# Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm G D
All will be a passing moment
D Bm A D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song

[Bridge]
A Bm D
Every year we thought was wasted
D G F# Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm G D
All will be a passing moment
D Bm A D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song
