Restoring Reinspirings

Tune: Cwm Rhondda

('Guide me, O thou great Jehovah')

Jeremiah Chapter 30 parts

*********

The days come, says the LORD, i will

Bring again my people still

Back to their homeland, they shall be

Returned to Israel, see

The land I gave to my people

And they shall possess it all

And they shall possess it all

 

They shall return, and be in rest

Quiet, unafraid, and blessed

For I am with you, says the LORD

To save you, this is my word

I will not make full end of you

But correct in measure true

But correct in measure true

 

For I will restore health to you

Heal you of your wounds, your bruise

Because they did call you Outcast

Saying, You are gone, time past

Though they say no one seeks for you

I will seek and save you too

I will seek and save you too

 

I will bring you, you shall return

To your land, of me shall learn

Shall rebuild the ruined places

Radiant be your faces

There thanksgiving, merriment heard

Through my grace on you conferred

Through my grace on you conferred

 

I will multiply them, and shall

Glorify them, they not small

I will punish all that oppress

Them, but shall them surely bless

You shall be my people, and I

Will be your God, ever nigh

Will be your God, ever nigh
