Isaiah 54:6–5: Cast off for thy unfaithfulness
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Cast off for thy unfaithfulness,
Thy God had left thee in distress,
A wife of youth condemn'd to mourn;
But scattering all thy grief and pain.
Thy Husband comforts thee again,
I bid thee to My arms return.
I frown'd for a small moment's space,
Hid in a little wrath My face.
But will with mercies great receive;
I will thy full Redeemer come,
Gather thee to thine heavenly home,
And everlastingly forgive.
