Isaiah 49:19: Thy land, which long lay waste and void
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Thy land, which long lay waste and void.
Depopulated and destroy'd,
An unfrequented wilderness,
Shall smile, again manured and till'd.
Again inhabited, and fill'd.
And crowded with the sons of grace.
My people saved, My chosen seed,
Throughout the land of promise spread,
The world no longer shall devour;
Satan, who made your souls a prey,
Shall flee, for ever chased away.
And sin lay waste My church no more.
