Just Judgement - Minor Prophets Series

Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

Amos 5 v.20-24

*********

Shall not day of the [return of the] LORD

Be true unto His word?

For those who do from Him turn back

They be deprived and lack

 

That day to them shall be

As dark, not as light, see

Very dark, and with no brightness

In it, gloomy, no less

 

The LORD of them does tire

A situation dire

will not accept the offerings

That each one falsely brings

 

And will not hear their songs

Hypocrisy prolongs

Wile they idols too do serve free

Mixing their worship, see

 

But let judgement, justice

Run down, good shall be this

And righteousness as mighty stream

Bright shine the LORD's light-beam
