Tune: Hanover
('O worship the King')
Isaiah Chapter 62 part
******
In the hand of the LORD, crown you shall be
A crown of glory, restoring shall see
And too a diadem royal, glorious
The LORD has thought on us, and us shall He bless
You shall no more be termed as Forsaken
Nor land Desolate, shall be renewed when
The LORD calls you Hephzibah, for He delights
Among you, where His gracious presence alights
Your land shall be called Beulah, not off cast
But sorrows now gone inhabit the past
For Hephzibah, the LORD delights in you true
And Beulah, your land married to Him anew
For as a young man his virgin does wed
So shall your sons marry you, the Lord said
And as bridegroom over the bride does rejoice
So God rejoices over you, you His choice
Say to the people of Zion, plain, clear
Your salvation comes, behold it is near
God's reward is with Him, His work Him before
He shall come to help, to redeem and restore
Then shall they be called 'The holy people'
'The redeemed of the LORD', yes one and all
And be called 'Sought out', 'City not forsaken'
For the LORD you as His people has taken

Have to admit, I don't know too much (or better - very little) about what you are writing about here, but the writing is beautiful!
Thanks Fred. Erm, it\'s some Jewish history form the time of Isaiah the prophet, about 700BC. He spoke some prophecies of Israel\'s future. The nation would be \'married\' to the Lord, as it were. But not as my marriage to KP. Or it would be a doom and gloom prophecy! lol. Verse 3 explains the meaning of the names, hopefully.
Thanks for the explanation, orchidee! I figured it was Jewish (the chosen people), and you did a great job with this one!
