Tune: Praise my soul
('Praise, my soul, the King of heaven')
Isaiah 55 v.10-13
***********
As rain and snow fall from heaven
And waters the earth so then
Making it bring forth and bud too
Gives seed to sower anew
And gives bread unto us, we eat
God's providings thus complete
So shall His word be that proceeds
From His mouth, it meets our needs
Shall not return to Him empty
But it shall accomplish, see
What He pleases, and shall propser
Where'er He does send it sure
For you shall go out with joy new
And be led forth with peace true
Mounts and hills shall break forth into
Song, creation join with you
Trees of fields shall too clap as hands
In the celebration bands
Instead of thorns shall be fir trees
Instead of briers myrtle trees
It shall be to the LORD a name
Worthy of honour and fame
It be for an e'erlasting sign
Not destroyed but His design

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7.8.7. metre. In this series there are often references to nature (e.g verses 3 and 4 in this poem). These can be symbolic and literal. There's a whole 66 chapters in Isaiah, though I don't 'go on' for 66 poems. But series not ended yet!

Thanks Gold.

Thanks M. You seen any rain or snow falling upwards? (verse 1). Well, it does return to the skies in its cycle. I expect it's quiet scientific!
I know someone who'd know the answer to that !
Oh yes!
I like nature .. I imagine Isiah did too .. apparently he was an identical twin and both of em were called Isiah .. apparently the parents could only tell them apart when they both stood up .. coz one was half inch taller than the other ... that's where the old saying came from ... one Isiah than the other ...
Thanks Neville. lol.
