18 A SONG OF JERUSALEM OUR MOTHER
| |||
| Refrain: | Thus says our God, I will comfort you,* you shall see and your heart shall rejoice. | ||
| 1 |
‘Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her* all you who love her’, says the Lord. | ||
| 2 |
‘Rejoice with her in joy,* all you who mourn over her, | ||
| 3 |
‘That you may drink deeply with delight* from her consoling breast.’ | ||
| 4 |
For thus says our God,* ‘You shall be nursed and carried on her arm. | ||
| 5 |
‘As a mother comforts her children,* so I will comfort you; | ||
| 6 |
‘You shall see and your heart shall rejoice;* you shall flourish like the grass of the fields.’ | ||
| |||
|
Thus says our God, I will comfort you,* you shall see and your heart shall rejoice. | |||
