Liberty of the Land

Tune: Lauda Anima

(\'Praise, my soul, the King of heaven\')

Joel 2 v.21-27

**********

Fear not, O land, be glad, rejoice

The Lord has made you His choice

And He will do great things for you

And unto beasts, cattle too

For pastures of wilderness spring

Plenteous fruit forth the bring

 

Be glad then, you, the Lord\'s people

Rejoice in Him, give praise all

For He has given former rain

Will give latter rain again

Threshing-floors shall be full of wheat

Supplies of oil, win complete

 

He will restore years that locusts

Have eaten, it shall be thus

Cankerworm, and caterpillar

Palmerworm, will not defer

To remove destroying army

Then you shall eat in plenty

 

You shall be satisfied, praise nem

Of the Lord and sing His fame

For He has dealt wondrous with you

You shall ne\'er be ashamed, true

And you shall know the Lord among

You, the Lord God, praise be sung
