By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. Isaiah li. 1-4.
      1 THUS saith the Lord! Who seek the Lamb,
      Who follow after righteousness,
      Look to the rock from whence ye came,
      The father of the faithful race.

      2 Children of faithful Abraham these
      Who dare expect salvation here,
      The Lord shall give them gospel peace,
      And all his hopeless mourners cheer;

      3 Shall soon his fallen Zion raise,
      Her waste and desolate places build;
      Pour out the Spirit of his grace,
      And make her wilds a fruitful field.

      4 The barren souls shall be restored,
      The desert all renewed shall rise,
      Bloom as the garden of the Lord,
      A fair terrestrial paradise.

      5 Gladness and joy shall there be found,
      Thanksgiving and the voice of praise;
      The voice of melody shall sound,
      And every heart be filled with grace.

      6 A law shall soon from him proceed,
      A living, life-infusing word,
      The truth that makes you free indeed,
      The eternal Spirit, of your Lord.

      7 His mercy he will cause to rest
      Where all may see their sins forgiven;
      May rise, no more by guilt opprest,
      And bless the light that leads to heaven.
