Tune: St Peter
('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')
Isaiah 40 v.9-11
********
Zion, you that do bring good things
To all the nations brings
Jerusalem the capital
Has blessings unto all
Get you up into the mount high
Proclaim your Lord is nigh
Lift up your voice with strength and say
'Behold your God today!'
Speak to Judah, it your country
The Lord GOD there shall be
Will come with strong hand, and His arm
Shall rule, keep you from harm
His reward it be with Him sure
His work does go before
Him, and He shall feed His flock here
As a Shepherd appear
He shall with His arm lambs gather
Shall His comfort assure
Shall carry them, and gently lead
Those with young, and all feed

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Keep writing O
Thanks M.
I think you are rewriting all scripture very well and true to form.
Thanks Heart. Eek, hope I'm not re-writing it. There's a paraphrase version 'The Message'. I think it's ghastly. It says 'Whoopee' and 'Bravo' and inane things like that in it! I suppose it's in modern English anyway, which can help. But it changes the meaning of things in many verses.
thanks for uplifting me
Thanks w c.
I love Israel. It will always have a special place in my heart. This was a great piece. Keep writing.
Persistence is key
Thanks Forever.
