Say to the prisoner To those in darkness Come out and show yourselves in the light
You shall find pasture Along the way And on the barren height
You shall not hunger You shall not thirst Nor shall the scorching wind strike you down
For He who pities And He who leads Will guide you beside springs of water
Can a mother forget her own child Or be without tenderness... Sing out, oh heavens Rejoice, all the earth Break forth into song, you mountains and hills
Say to the prisoners To those in darkness Come out and show yourselves in light
You will find pasture Along the way And on the barren height
