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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
