Isaiah the prophet has written of old
Author: Joy F. Patterson (b. 1931-) Meter: Irregular Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's new creation shall come.
Instead of the thorn tree, the fir tree shall grow
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb, the lamb,
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
2 The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
the peoples be led forth in peace:
the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the sea, the sea,
as the waters cover the sea.
3 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world,
and conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn tree grow wild, grow wild,
the brier and the thorn tree grow wild.
4 God, bring to fruition your will for the earth,
that no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy, in joy,
and your people shall go forth in joy.
