His delight -- is in the Lord

And he will not judge by eyesight or by hearing

But in right-EOUS-NESS his each decision

Will be for the poor and humble of the earth.

For the gen--tiles shall seek him

And his resting place in glory will abound.

The wolf shall dwell--beside the lamb

The leopard with the goat, the calf with the young lion.

And a lit-TLE CHILD will be their leader

As they all sit down in peace to eat their straw.
