1 Those who wait on the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint:
help us, Lord; help us, Lord, in your way.

2 Those who serve the suffering world
shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint:
help us, Lord; help us, Lord, in your way.

shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint:
help us, Lord; help us, Lord, in your way.

shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;

shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;

shall renew their strength;
they shall rise up on wings as eagles;
