Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ... strength, And clothe thyself in bright array; Thou the defiled no more shalt meet. Zion, ascend thy lofty seat! Arouse thee from the dust at length! Thy captive fetters cast away! Thus saith the Lord, For nothing were ye sold; Nor shall with gold or silver be restored. In Egypt's bonds my people toiled of old; Now these in servile chains Assyria's legions hold. What shall I do to vindicate my fame 1 Since all my people thus are cast away, And their proud conquerors their taunts proclaim, While blasphemies are uttered day by day. My ears have hearkened to my people's cry; Lo! I have said the word--and here am I. IT How beautiful upon the hills appear The feet of the appointed messenger, The harbinger of peace to all around, Who points to where salvation may be found, And calls to Sion in exulting strains, Arise! behold thy God Jehovah reigns! Thy watchers shout, together raise their voice, For they shall see Jehovah face to face. Ye ruins of Jerusalem, rejoice; For God hath comforted his holy place. Jehovah hath made bare his arm in sight of every nation, And girth's remotest bounds have seen the work of our salvation. Depart, depart; touch no polluted thing, Ye that the consecrated vessels bring; In haste from Babylon ye shall not go, But all your train a stately march shall show. Jehovah's self shall with your van combine, And on your rear the God of Israel shine. I grant success to this my servant tried, He shall be raised, and greatly magnified; As many were astonished at the sight, So little could his outward form delight: So now to nations he amazement brings; Before him shall be closed the mouths of kings; For they shall see what had not been declared, They shall consider what they had not heard. Say, who to our report will credence grant?...
