Come up from your wounds as deep as the sea,^
enter the Lord’s ark for comfort and healing.^^
Every inch of man, once plundered and poor,+
shall leave the soul sick—Oh God, such hearts restore!
Jerusalem, jewel and joy of the earth,
fell into captivity and callous-cruel scourge.++
Prophets looked further, saw the Son of Man,
by whose stripes all could find refuge again.*
Because of God’s love, we are not consumed.
His compassions, they fail not, each morning are new!**
The Lord is so good, trust his sew and his thread!***
Tis good to wait quietly, in his ark, contented.****
