HYMN XI. Salvation, Righteousness, and Strength in Christ, Isa. xiv.21—25
by Anonymous
Jehovah speaks—let Israel hear! Let all the earth rejoice and fear; While God's eternal Son proclaims His sovereign honours, and his names:
"I am the last, and I the first, "The Saviour God, and God the just; "Look up to me, from distant lands, "Light, life, and heaven, are in my hands.
"I by my holy name have sworn, "Nor shall the word in vain return; "To me, shall all things bend the knee, "And every tongue shall swear to me.
"In me alone, shall men confess "Lies all their strength and righteousness; "But such as dare despise my name, "I'll clothe with everlasting shame.
"In me, the Lord, shall all the seed "Of Israel, from their sins be freed; "And, by their shining graces prove, "Their interest in my pardoning love."
