Isaiah 49

• [Isa 49:2] In The Hollow Of His Hand

  In the hollow of His hand He will hide me When doubt and sin draw near, Though no earthly friend may walk beside me, I rest secure from fear. Refrain I know whate’er betide me, His hand will safely guide me, His love will ever hide me In the hollow of His hand. In the hollow of His hand He will hide me When the storm is on the deep, And I know whatever may betide me, His vigil He will keep. Refrain In the hollow of His hand He will hide me When the storms of life sweep by, To the harbor safe He will guide me, Where His blessèd islands lie. Refrain

• [Isa 49:7] Redeemer Of Israel

  Redeemer of Israel, our only Delight, On Whom for a blessing we call, Our Shadow by day, and our Pillar by night, Our King, our Deliverer, our All! We know He is coming, to gather His sheep And lead them to Zion in love; For why in the valley of death should they weep Or in the lone wilderness rove? How long we have wandered as strangers in sin, And cried in the desert for Thee! Our foes have rejoiced when our sorrows they’ve seen, But Israel will shortly be free. As children of Zion, good tidings for us. The tokens already appear. Fear not, and be just, for the kingdom is ours. The hour of redemption is near.

• [Isa 49:14] Zion Mourns In Fear And Anguish

  Zion mourns in fear and anguish, Zion, city of our God. “Ah,” she says, “how sore I languish, Bowed beneath the chast’ning rod! For my God forsook me quite And forgot my sorry plight Mid these troubles now distressing, Countless woes my soul oppressing. “Once,” she mourns, “He promised plainly That His help should e’er be near; Yet I now must seek Him vainly In my days of woe and fear. Will His anger never cease? Will He not renew His peace? Will He not show forth compassion And again forgive transgression?” “Zion, surely I do love thee,” Thus to her the Savior saith, “Tho’ with many woes I prove thee And thy soul is sad to death. For My troth is pledged to thee; Zion, thou art dear to Me. Deep within My heart I’ve set thee, That I never can forget thee. “Let not Satan make thee craven; He can threaten but not harm. On My hands thy name is graven, And thy shield is My strong arm. How, then, could it ever be I should not remember thee, Fail to build thy walls, My city, And look down on thee with pity? “Ever shall Mine eyes behold thee; On My bosom thou art laid. Ever shall My love enfold thee; Never shalt thou lack Mine aid. Neither Satan, war, nor stress Then shall mar thy happiness: With this blessèd consolation Be thou firm in tribulation.”

• [Isa 49:15] I Will Not Forget Thee

  Sweet is the promise “I will not forget thee,” Nothing can molest or turn my soul away; E’en though the night be dark within the valley, Just beyond is shining an eternal day. Refrain I will not forget thee or leave thee, In My hands I’ll hold thee, In My arms I’ll fold thee, I will not forget thee or leave thee; I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee. Trusting the promise “I will not forget thee,” Onward I will go with songs of joy and love, Though earth despise me, Though my friends forsake me, I shall be remembered in my home above. Refrain When at the golden portals I am standing, All my tribulations, all my sorrows past; How sweet to hear the blessèd proclamation, “Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last.” Refrain
