Restoration Reassurances - Isaiah Series (12)

Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

('Awake, awake, fling off the night')

Isaiah 51 v.9-16 parts

********

Awake, awake, arm of the LORD

Show strength of your powerful word

Was it not you, your people led

Through Red Sea, with you at their head?

 

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD

Shall return and come, it assured

Come with singing to Zion's land

All safe, guided by God's good hand

 

And everlasting joy shall be

Upon their heads comfortingly

They shall obtain joy and gladness

The LORD shall help them and them bless

 

And sorrow and mourning shall flee

Away, nor shall there sighing be

The LORD is He who them comforts

Fear not man, he be of small sorts

 

Forget me not, I Creator

have made heavens and earth, 'tis sure

Though oppressed and captive you were

Redemption I on you confer

 

I have given to you my words

You opened ears and heave them heard

Covered in shadow of my hand

I bring you back to Zion's land
