Isaiah 25:12--26:1

• [Isa 26:1] How Honorable Is The Place

  How honorable is the place Where we adoring stand! Zion, the glory of the earth, And beauty of the land! Bulwarks of mighty grace defend The city where we dwell; The walls, of strong salvation made, Defy the assaults of hell. Lift up the everlasting gates, The doors wide open fling; Enter, ye nations that obey The statutes of our King. Here shall you taste unmingled joys, And live in perfect peace, You that have known Jehovah’s Name. And ventured on His grace. Trust in the Lord, forever trust, And banish all your fears; Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells, Eternal as His years. What though the rebels dwell on high, His arm shall bring them low; Low as the caverns of the grave Their lofty heads shall bow. On Babylon our feet shall tread In that rejoicing hour; The ruins of her walls shall spread A pavement for the poor.

Isaiah 60:18

• [Isa 60:18] Gates Of Praise

  Lift up the Gates of Praise, That we may enter in, And o’er Salvation’s walls proclaim That Christ redeems from sin. Refrain The stars may praise the Hand That decks the sky above, But man alone can tell the power Of Christ’s redeeming love. God’s works reveal His might, His majesty and grace; But not the tender Father’s love That saves a dying race. Refrain Then let the voice of praise To heav’nly courts ascend, Till with the songs the angels sing Our hallelujahs blend. Refrain To Him that hath redeemed Our souls from sin’s dark maze; The Hope and Savior of mankind, Be everlasting praise. Refrain

• [Isa 60:18] Hear What God The Lord Hath Spoken

  Hear what God the Lord hath spoken, “O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. “There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow, For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow; Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. “Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But your griefs forever ending, Find eternal noon in Me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God your everlasting Light.”
