| | Beulah Land | I've reached the land of corn and wine | O Beulah land, sweet Beulah land | | | English | Edgar Page | | | Isaiah 36:17This hymn's imagery of a promised land of abundance contrasts with Isaiah 36's account of Assyrian threats against Jerusalem's security. | | | Fellowship with God; Funeral Hymns | | | | | | | | | 353 | 1 | 143595 | 1 |
| | Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn | Awake! Awake, and greet the new morn | | | | English | Marty Haugen | | 9.8.9.8.8.7.8.9 | Isaiah 36:6I need to check the connection between this Advent hymn about Christ's birth and Isaiah 36.
Isaiah 36 is actually about the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem during King Hezekiah's reign - it's a historical narrative about military threat and political crisis, not a messianic prophecy or passage typically associated with Advent or Christ's birth.
This appears to be a mismatch. There's no clear thematic or theological connection between this Advent hymn celebrating Jesus's birth as Emmanuel and Isaiah 36's account of the Assyrian invasion.
However, if I must provide an explanation, the only possible connection might be:
This hymn's reference to Emmanuel coming to those in sorrow and fear echoes the crisis context of Isaiah 36's siege narrative. | | | | Year C, Advent, Third Sunday | | | | | 1 | | | 18 | 0 | 57083 | 1 |
