Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:5-9 First Line: Attend, and mark the solemn fast Lyrics: Attend, and mark the solemn fast which to the Lord is dear; Disdain the false unhallowed mask which vain dissemblers wear. Do I delight In sorrow’s dress? saith he who reigns above; The hanging head and rueful look, will they attract my love? Let such as feel oppression’s load thy tender pity share: And let the helpless, homeless poor, be thy peculiar care. Go, bid the hungry orphan be with thy abundance blest; Invite the wand’rer to thy gate, and spread the couch of rest. 135 Let him who pines with piercing cold by thee be warmed and clad; Be thine the blissful task to make the downcast mourner glad. Then, bright as morning, shall come forth, in peace and joy, thy days; And glory from the Lord above shall shine on all thy ways.
