Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Advent III A Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, All his pow'r revealing, Splendor shall announce his reign, Life and joy and healing: Earth no longer in decay, Hope no more frustrated; This is God's redemption day Longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root Fresh from his creation; Plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit Join the celebration; Rivers spring up from the earth, Barren lands adorning; Valleys, this is your new birth, Mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees, Fainting hearts, be cheerful! God, who comes for such as these, Seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues Sing away their weeping; Blind eyes see the lifeless ones Walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen Where no roaring lion, Nothing evil or unclean, Walks the road to Zion. Ransomed people homeward bound, All your praises voicing, See your Lord with glory crowned, Share in his rejoicing! Scripture: Isaiah 35 Used With Tune: GAUDEAMUS PARITER
