THEY SHALL SEE THE GLORY OF THE LORD

The wilderness and the solitary place 

shall be glad for them; and the desert 

shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

t shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice

 even with joy and singing: the glory 

of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the

 excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they 

shall see the glory of the LORD, and 

the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye 

the weak hands, and confirm the feeble 

knees. Say to them that are of a fearful 

heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your 

God will come with vengeance, even 

God with a recompence; he will come 

and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind 

shall be opened, and the ears of the 

deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the 

lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue 

of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness 

shall waters break out, and streams in the 

desert.  And the parched ground shall 

become a pool, and the thirsty land springs 

of water: in the habitation of dragons, 

where each lay, shall be grass with reeds 

and rushes. And an highway shall be there, 

and a way, and it shall be called The way of 

holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; 

but it shall be for those: the wayfaring 

men, though fools, shall not err therein.  

No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous 

beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be 

found there; but the redeemed shall 

walk there:  And the ransomed of the LORD 

shall return, and come to Zion with songs 

and everlasting joy upon their heads: they 

shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow 

and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35:1-10
