Zion Salvation
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Listen who pursue righteousness,
For you must be seeking the Lord;
Get rid of your audaciousness,
While being in one accord.
Look to the rock which you were hewn,
The quarry from which you were dug;
The Lord will be returning soon,
For embracing you with His hug.
Look to your mother who bore you,
And your father who gave advice;
Both of them were faithful and true,
Everything they did sacrifice.
For the Lord does comfort Zion,
He comforts all her waste places;
As the lamb lies with the lion,
The hope what the future faces.
The wilderness like a garden,
Joy and gladness that will be found;
Her desert be made like Eden,
As thanksgiving songs that will sound.
Give your attention with your ear,
His nation for Law will go out;
Remembering the Lord is near,
Giving the hope to shed your doubt.
For your righteousness drawing near,
As your salvation has gone out;
While spiritually sincere,
That you are remaining devout.
Lift up your eyes unto Heaven,
And look upon the earth below;
Everything the Lord has given,
Remembering the Lord does show.
For Heaven will vanish like smoke,
Earth will wear out like a garment;
Events happen as the Lord spoke,
Purging the immoral varmint.
