Isaiah 26:1-7
1-7 How glorious Sion’s courts appear,
the city of our God!
His throne he hath establish’d here,
here fix’d his lov’d abode.
2 Its walls, defended by his grace,
no pow’r shall e’er o’erthrow,
Salvation is its bulwark sure
against th’ assailing foe.
3 Lift up the everlasting gates,
the doors wide open fling;
Enter, ye nations, who obey
the statutes of our King.
4 Here shall ye taste unmingled joys,
and dwell in perfect peace,
Ye, who have known JEHOVAH’s name,
and trusted in his grace.
5 Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
and banish all your fears;
Strength in the Lord JEHOVAH dwells
eternal as his years.
6 What though the wicked dwell on high,
his arm shall bring them low;
Low as the caverns of the grave
their lofty heads shall bow.
7 Along the dust shall then be spread
their tow’rs, that brave the skies:
On them the needy’s feet shall tread,
and on their ruins rise.
