Beauty for Ashes

orchidee

Based on part of Isaiah Chapter 61

(forgot title and tune name of hymn).

*********

Beauty for ashes

[Oil of] Joy for mourning

Praise for a heavy heart

A new day dawning

 

A robe of righteousness

Given freely

Praise you the Lord

Give him all the glory!

------

Note: 'For' here, means in the sense of

'instead' or 'in exchange for'.

  • Comment from author about the poem: There's a hymn of the same title, but not the one I have in mind here. Sorry - I've forgotten the hymn name and title. Not sure of the tune, so I can't sing it (hooray, you say! lol.).
