Text:Thus saith the Lord, My Church, to thee
Author:James Montgomery

139. Thus saith the Lord, My Church, to thee

Thus saith the Lord, "My Church, to thee
Peace, like a river, I will send;
The Gentiles, in a stream, shall see
My mercy flowing without end.

The isles, that never heard my fame,
Nor knew the glory of my might,
They shall be taught to fear my name,
Call'd out of darkness into light.

And it shall come to pass, that vows
From sabbath unto sabbath-day,
From moon to moon, in mine own house,
All nations, tribes, and tongues shall pay."
