Isaiah 54:4: With confidence lift up thy face

With confidence lift up thy face.
Nor dread the scandal and disgrace.
At first on all thy children cast,
"Have any of the great believed?"
Yes; rulers have thy law received.
And kings themselves submit — the last.

No more shalt thou upbrakled be,
With fewness or with poverty,
Or sad thy widow'd state deplore;
Self-will and pride, thy nature's shame,
Are swallow'd up in Jesu's name,
And sin's confusion is no more.
