Tune: Ellers
('Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise')
Isaiah 26 v.1-9
*************
We shall this song sing throughout Judah's land
That a strong city we have by God's hand
Salvation for walls, bulwarks, He appoints
He shall not leave us, us not disappoints
Open you the gates, that [the] righteous nation
Which keeps the truth sure now may enter in
You will keep them in perfect peace whose mind
Is stayed on you, confidence they shall find
Such shall have minds set on you for always
Because they trust in you all night and days
Trust in the LORD for ever, to Him hold
In the LORD JEHOVAH be you strong, bold
For in Him is strength, it everlasting
'Tis found in Him, the great eternal King
Forgive where we doubt, mistrust, faith grows dim
Restore, renew our trust only in Him
For He brings down the high ones, the lofty
Brings them down to the ground, to the dust, see
Even the feet of poor, needy shall tread
The mighty down, for God the word has said
With my soul I desire you in the night
Lord, come to me, and dawn now on my sight
Early I will seek you, for when there be
Your judgement on earth, then righteousness free

Thanks Bella.
Confusing how many names he has. Last time you said his name is always the same. Jehovah, Elohim, Adonai, Jesus, Lord, Yahweh, El Olam, El Shaddai, King of kings, I am that I am lol Good write Orchi
Thanks SB. Erm, yes. Maybe it means the same person, and the same name, i.e. in essence.
Did you know I am aka Fred, Bob, John, Don, and Joe Bloggs?! lol.
I've been called a lot of names too but they are not repeatable.

Good one Orchi.
"For He brings down the high ones, the lofty
Brings them down to the ground, to the dust, see
Even the feet of poor, needy shall tread
The mighty down, for God the word has said"
I wish this would happen.

Thanks Gold. Yes, in some other places it says 'Why do the wicked prosper'; 'They are not in troubles like others are'; etc.
Somehow the meek will inherit the earth.
