Ransom Return

by Richard Sherrer

A Help in Sorrow
Isaiah 35:8-10

A highway shall be there,
The Way of Holiness;
Only the clean will share,
That as the Lord will bless.

The unclean shall not pass,
Just who walk on the Way;
Since the unclean trespass,
As fools they go astray.

No lion shall be there,
Nor shall ravenous beast;
Just the redeemed to share,
To partake of the feast.

The ransomed of the Lord,
Shall return to Zion;
The righteous who adored,
Will avoid the lion.

Sorrow shall feel away,
His chosen have gladness;
For the Lord comes to stay,
No one having sadness.
