June 29, 2026 - Isaiah 11-12

Once again, the branch from the stump of Jesse, i.e., the descendant of David!  What a ministry will be his!  And what a future for the people of God!

O come, O Branch of Jesse’s stem,

unto your own and rescue them!

From depths of hell your people save,

and give them victory o’er the grave.

O come, O Key of David, come

and open wide our heavenly home.

Make safe for us the heavenward road

and bar the way to death’s abode.

O come, O King of nations, bind

in one the hearts of all mankind.

Bid all our sad divisions cease

and be yourself our King of Peace.   -- J. M. Neale (1851)
