Tune: Ode to Joy
('Joyful, joyful, we adore thee')
Joel 2 v.21-27
*********
Fear not, O land, be glad, rejoice
The Lord has made you His choice
He will do great things, do not fear
You beasts of the field rest here
For pastures of the wilderness
Do spring, I the Lord them bless
For the tree bears her fruit, fig tree
And the vine shall fruitful be
Be glad then, children of Zion
Rejoice in your Lord God then
For He has given to you rains
To water valleys, hills, plains
Threshing floors shall be full of wheat
Vats flow with wine, oil, complete
And the Lord will to you restore
Years locusts have eaten sure
And you shall eat in plenty, be
Satisfied, praise the Lord, He
You God, that has dealt wondrously
With you, you shall never be
Ashamed, and you shall know that I
Am in midst of Israel, nigh
And that I am the Lord your God
Bring you blessings like a flood

Wow Orchi I don't know about the locust thing I have tasted grasshopper but locust goes too far the legs have to be removed like stems from a cherry and the head is a bit mushy while the wings stick in one's throat. All kidding aside nicely done my friend well imaged and written
