Do I hope  in vain?   Chorus: You came (Down!)down to me you heard my cry,  ‘Do not close your ear” You came (Down!) down to me    Saying, ‘Do not fear!’ You came down to me And You drew   near      “You’ve taken up my cause,  O Lord;  You saved my life Even on this day You are making it right   You repay the evil one Who does not care for truth You destroy the wicked  Who slays the righteous in their youth
