  1. 1Hear what God the Lord hath spoken:
  2. O my people, faint and few,
  3. Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
  4. Fair abodes I build for you.
  5. Thorns of heartfelt tribulation,
  6. Shall no more perplex your ways:
  7. You shall name your walls salvation,
  8. And your gates shall all be praise.
  9. 2There, like streams that feed the garden,
  10. Pleasures without end shall flow;
  11. For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
  12. All His bounty shall bestow.
  13. Still in undisturbed possession,
  14. Peace and righteousness shall reign:
  15. Never shall you feel oppression,
  16. Hear the voice of war again.
  17. 3Ye no more your suns descending,
  18. Waning moons no more shall see;
  19. But, your griefs for ever ended,
  20. Find eternal noon in Me.
  21. God shall rise, and shining o'er you,
  22. Change to day the gloom of night;
  23. He, the Lord, shall be your Glory,
  24. God your everlasting Light.
