Come Home All Israel

Sept 24-October 4: Isaiah 49

In the time of favor

When salvation is at hand

When I, the Lord, will once again

Restore the goodly land.

I’ll set a light to lead the way

For nations to behold

Illuminating hearts and minds

My standard to unfold.

And to thy house so desolate

My servant Jacob, fair

Will nations gather up thy seed

And on their shoulders bear.

Through mountains I will make a way

And raise my pathway high

Restore again that covenant

To draw my people nigh.

Shout for joy, oh Heaven above

Oh earth, break forth and sing

For comfort to all Israel

Is come forth from your King

No more to hunger or to thirst

No more to walk alone

Your Lord and King, the Holy One

Will call to you, “Come home!”

"Come home unto the promises

Thy fathers knew so well

Come home unto inheritance,

Come home all Israel!"
