Isaiah 48:20: Go ye forth of Babylon, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Go forth, ye ransom'd people, flee
Out of your dire captivity,
Who slaves in Babylon remain:
(That Babel of the carnal will,
Confusion worse confounded still
By jarring tongues, and janglings vain!)
With gospel-songs triumphant tell
The glorious liberty ye feel.
Your joys throughout the earth proclaim,
The Cause of all your joys repeat,
The' exploits of Love divinely great,
The wonders wrought by Jesu's name.
