Residency Restoration

Tune: Unde Et Memores

(\'And now, O Father, mindful of the love\')

Isaiah 30 v.24-29

********

Look, Lord upon the city, Zion see

Tis the city of our solemnity

You people, you shall Jerusalem see

A quiet habitation it shall be

As tabernacle set up, removed ne\'er

For the Lord shall forever abide there

 

Not one of those tent pegs shall e\'er be loosed

Nor strength of cords upholding it reduced

But there the glorious LORD will be to us

A place of broad rivers and sanctuary

And streams shall flow with water of life pure

All wondrous, perfect, we shall Him adore

 

No galley with oars shall be seen therein

No human strength, pride, vanity, or sin

Nor gallant ship of human boasting seen

Nor bitterness, spite, greed, and nothing mean

For the LORD is our judge and lawgiver

Clear, crystal, sparkling there be the river

 

The LORD is our King, He will save us sure

With help and graces from His goodness\' store

Teh people that dwell there He shall forgive

They shall know His blessings and they shall live

Restored, renewed, they give Him thanks and praise

And to Him songs of gratitude do raise
