Tune: All Saints
('Who are these like stars appearing?')
Isaiah 40 v.1-5
*******
Comfort, comfort you, my people
This your God does to you call
Speak comfortably, to them saying
Your troubles are o'er, Him bring
Songs of praise and gratitude
He has helped you, you renewed
For your war is over, and see
Your sins are pardoned by me
Then hark to a voice in desert
Prophet he, and wears hair-shirt
John the Baptist's work foretold
By Isaiah from of old
His voice cries, prepare you the way
Of the LORD, see clear as day
Make straight in desert a highway
In dark places do not stay
Make a highway for God sure
He does reign for evermore
Each valley shall be exalted
Hills, mounts, made low, He has said
Crooked places shall be made straight
Rough places plain, celebrate
For God shall come in His Son
Christ Jesus the holy one
And the glory of the LORD shall
Be revealed to one and all
All flesh it shall see together
Unto Him repentant stir
The mouth of the LORD this says
So would come prophesied days

A beautiful write orchidee ; )
Your pen never fails O
Faith reaches heights nothing else can - good news expressed very well my friend.
Thanks all.
Well, there's one good thing - some millionaires have lost homes or possessions. Shouldn't be so greedy! Ahh diddums! They won't even miss their losses. Of course we think and pray for those in the ongoing days ahead.
Thanks STEVE ~ I don't know how you do it ! Another perfect Hymn and another inspiring Poem to prepare us for "The Lord's Day" ~ AMEN ! My guess would be that your inspiration is not Harvey's Spirit (Jerez) but God's Holy Spirit ~ AWESOME ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. Some say - see what you can do, Orchi, when you put that sherry down?! heehee. (I'm 99% tee-total really). Well, sometimes I have a backlog, and other times nothing at all. The writing and posting dates may not always be the same. I know it can seem conflicting, this 'comforting' theme. yet 'comfort' can mean 'to solace' AND 'to strengthen'.
Another good write Orchi.
Thanks G/F.
You were right Orchidee. Inspiration is there Ten-fold! Thank you for showing me the Way. I, too, am a very Religious Man, deep into my Faith and, by reading your write, only strengthens me! Thanks again!! You are a true friend Orchidee!!!
