Christ in Isaiah
Christ in Isaiah
|
1
|
Our Christ He is the fruit of earth, In excellence replete; Jehovah’s shoot, divinity; Where God with man does meet. |
|
2
|
Our Christ He is the canopy To shelter God’s elect, A hiding place, a shade from heat, God’s work He does protect. |
|
3
|
As virgin’s Son, to us He came— The universal sign; Immanuel, God dwells with us; O what a joy divine. |
|
4
|
Now unto us this child is born, As firstborn Son He came; As counselor, He’s wonderful, The mighty God His name. |
|
5
|
The shadow of a massive rock Upon a wasted soil, A refuge He from storm and wind, A rest from earthly toil. |
|
6
|
A twig and branch and Jesse’s root, The fruit of all the earth; He grew up as a tender plant, O what a Christ of worth. |
|
7
|
Our Christ, He is the cornerstone; He’s tested and secure, The glory of the Father’s house, Upon Him resting sure. |
|
8
|
Although He was despised by man, Acquainted He with grief; He paid the greatest sacrifice That we should find release. |
|
9
|
A peg that’s driven in the wall On which all glory rests, The faithful household steward He, God’s wisdom manifest. |
|
10
|
Eternal covenant He makes With David’s mercies sure; The thirsty He does satisfy With living waters pure. |
|
11
|
To properly portray this One, The Bible uses three: Isaiah, Cyrus, Israel; A threefold Servant He. |
|
12
|
The Prince of Peace and Mighty God, The Savior and the King, The light in the Millennium, ’Tis of this One we sing. |
|
13
|
Since unto us this light has shined, Who dwell in Galilee, We evermore declare His praise, O what a Christ is He. |
