Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 45:21-25 First Line: Jehovah speaks, let Isr'el hear Lyrics: 1 Jehovah speaks, let Isr'el hear;
Let all the earth rejoice and fear,
While God's eternal Son proclaims
His sov'reign honours and his names:
2 "I am the Last, and I the First,
"The Saviour God, and God the Just;
"There's none beside pretends to shew
"Such justice and salvation too.
3 ["Ye that in shades of darkness dwell,
"Just on the verge of death and hell,
"Look up to me from distant lands;
"Light, life, and heav'n, are in my hands.
4 "I by my holy name have sworn,
"Nor shall the word in vain return,
"To me shall all things bend the knee,
"And ev'ry tongue shall swear to me.
5 "In me alone shall men confess
"Lies all their strength and righteousness;
"But such as dare despise my name,
"I'll clothe them with eternal shame.
6 "In me, the Lord, shall all the seed
"Of Isr'el from their sins be freed,
"And by their shining graces prove
"Their int'rest in my pard'ning love."
Salvation, righteousness and strength in Christ
