Song # 1467.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. The Book of Isaiah tells us in chapter 32 about the noble man who makes noble plans and does noble deeds.
See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice (Isaiah 32:1). Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land (Isaiah 32:2). Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen (Isaiah 32:3). The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear (Isaiah 32:4). No longer will the fool be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected (Isaiah 32:5). For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil. He practises ungodliness and spreads error concerning the Lord. The hungry he leaves empty and from the thirsty he withholds water (Isaiah 32:6). The scoundrel’s methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just (Isaiah 32:7). But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands (Isaiah 32:8).
Thought for today: forgiving is Christianity in practice.
Thought for the future: patience is a virtue, understanding is knowledge, loving is godly. Where will you spend your eternity?
