Voices Found Rejoicing: the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

 



                                                             


Isaiah 66:10-14

10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
   all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
   all you who mourn over her—
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied
   from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
   from her glorious bosom. 

12 For thus says the Lord:

I will extend prosperity to her like a river,
   and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and you shall nurse and be carried on her arm,
   and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
   so I will comfort you;
   you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Voices Found #157, verses 1, 3 

All you who love Jerusalem,

be glad and share her cheer.

all you who mourn for her sad state

will have no cause for fear.


Her gentle arms will cradle you ,

as mother comforts child.

Your heart will sing as you grow strong,

like grasses in the wild.

Words: Patricia B. Clark, para. A Song of Jerusalem Our Mother

Music: Edmonton, from Harmonica Sacra, ca. 1760
