Forgotten Ground Regained
Behold, Your God Will Come (Is 35:3-7)
A Poem for Quinquagesima
Strengthen and heal the hands that are weak,make sure and firm the feeble knees.Say to the fearful-hearted, “Take heart, be strong!Behold, your God, the Holy One of Israel,will come with vengeance to vindicate and save you.”
Then God will open the eyes of the blind;your Savior will open the ears of the deaf.The lame shall skip and leap like a stag,and the tongue of the mute shall merrily sing.In the barren wilderness, waters shall burst forth,and streams in the dry, desolate wasteland.The burning sand shall become a bracing pool,and the thirsty land shall come alive with springs.And the haunt of jackals, their parched haven,shall then be overrun with reeds and rushes.
