Tune: Ode To Joy
('Joyful, joyful, we adore thee')
Isaiah 60 v.18-21
*********
Prosperous Israel's returning
To their land shall be, each thing
Shall be blessed, in peace they shall dwell
And of the Lord's goodness tell
Walls of city called Salvation
An honourable nation
Gates of city shall be called Praise
Joyful songs to the LORD raise
The sun shall no more be their light
Nor the moon shall shine then bright
But the LORD shall unto them be
An everlasting light, see
And their God shall be their glory
Sun not go down, but stay free
Nor moon withdraw, for the LORD shall
Be their e'erlasting light well
And days of their mourning shall be
Ended, now as company
The LORD's presence with them ever
They be forsaken never
They shall be all righteous, holy
Inherit the land plenty
The branch of the LORD's planting, see
His work, all for His glory

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. 8.7.8.7. metre. verse 2 may be a bit confusing. I take it as meaning: The people will not have, nor need, natural sun and moon, but the Lord God will be their 'spiritual' sun, moon, and light.

'The sun shall no more be their light
Nor the moon shall shine then bright'
I think that is a very relatable description of reality, in any context
Thanks LB. Though, as I say, their (referring to God's people) sun and moon will shine 'spiritually', as it were.
