Tune: Cruger
('Hail to the Lord's Anointed')
Isaiah 40 v.28-31
********
Have you not known? Have not heard?
That this true be the word
That the God everlasting
Creator of each thing
Faints not, neither is weary
And there no searching be
Of His understanding, for
It infinite for sure
He gives power to the weak
His help to lowly, meek
To them that have no might He
Increases strength, so be
Even the young people, they
Shall faint, fall in their day
But they that wait on the LORD
Shall know truth of His word
For they that do on Him wait
Shall renew their strength great
They shall mount up as with wings
As of eagles, each sings
They shall run, not be weary
Shall trust confidently
They shall walk, and they not faint
Each one in Christ, each saint

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. I don't usually write three poems from one Bible Chapter, but it happens sometimes. Depends sometimes if it's a long Chapter or not. It's a sort of 'active waiting' in faith, not as if idly waiting around for a No.7 bus!

It is 'faintless' not 'faithless' in the title.
'Shall renew their strength great
They shall mount up as with wings
As of eagles, each sings
They shall run, not be weary
Shall trust confidently'
liked this little gem, almost a standalone stanza in its own right,
reads like a song of hope for tomorrow's youth
Thanks LB. There's overlap at times (as said below) of literal and symbolic. I didn't get the hang of it - I therefore tried to fly, but crashed with me giant plastic wings! Call me El Birdman! lol.
if there is one ... my bet is that you just got a free pass in ...
Thanks Neville. Erm. brownie points won't get me in!

Thanks B&A. Yes, Isaiah is sometimes cryptic. There's overlap at times of literal and symbolic, I think.
Isaiah is a long book in the bible it could go onto to many more poems.

Thanks Gold. Yes, I admit I am picking out the 'good bits'. I suppose the gloomy bits wouldn't be sung, but they could be 'said' poems. Me series is ongoing.
