This is something that I'm trying to do this year - I'm trying to write new hymns - or at least new words for old hymn tunes. This week I've adapted the words of Isaiah 62: 1 - 5 to be sung to the traditional song, Oh Shenandoah.
For Zion’s sake I’ll
not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem
I will not rest nor will I slumber
until her righteousness
shines like the golden dawn.
I will not rest nor will I slumber
until her righteousness
shines like the golden dawn.
The entire world will
see your glory
and kings will see your goodness,
then you’ll be called by a new name
a name the Lord himself will give
to you, his treasure.
You will be like a royal crown
and like a diadem.
You’ll not be called, “Lost” or “Forgotten,”
but, “The People That God Loves,
My Delight Is In Her.”

And you will be the
bride of God
for he delights in you;
as a young man marries a woman,
so the Lord will rejoice
over you, his people.
