17 A SONG OF THE REDEEMER
| |||
| Refrain: | I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,* the praises of the Most High. | ||
| 1 |
Who is this that comes from Edom,* coming from Bozrah, his garments stained crimson? | ||
| 2 |
Who is this, in glorious apparel,* marching in the greatness of his strength? | ||
| 3 |
‘It is I, who announce that right has won the day,* it is I’, says the Lord, ‘for I am mighty to save.’ | ||
| 4 |
Why are your robes all red, O Lord,* and your garments like theirs who tread the winepress? | ||
| 5 |
‘I have trodden the winepress alone,* and from the peoples no one was with me.’ | ||
| 6 |
I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,* the praises of the Most High; | ||
| 7 |
All that God has done for us in his mercy,* by his many acts of love. | ||
| 8 |
For God said, ‘Surely, they are my people, my children who will not deal falsely’,* and he became their Saviour in all their distress. | ||
| 9 |
So God saved us by his love and pity;* he lifted us up and carried us through all the days of old. | ||
| |||
|
I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,* the praises of the Most High. | |||
