Tune: Halton Holgate
('Firmly I believe and truly')
Isaiah 43 v.18-21
**********
The LORD says, Remember you not
The former things, old days lot
Dwell not on them, stay not in past
I do new thing that shall last
Now it shall spring forth, and shall you
Not know it, and it you view?
I will make way in wilderness
Dry, barren places I bless
For I make rivers in desert
Bring comfort, not harm or hurt
Beasts of field, they shall honour me
Desert creatures too shall see
Shall see my workings, I shall give
Waters, rivers, so shall live
My people, my chosen they be
They shall quench their thirst full, free
This people now I have formed for
Myself, they be mine for sure
They shall show forth, declare my praise
To me worship and thanks raise
