A Righteous Branch, and a King Shall Reign

Jeremiah · Concerto

[Intro] Woe to the shepherds who scatter my pasture; I will visit the evil their hands have done. [Verse 1] From every country I will gather the remnant, fold by fold I will bring them home. I will set shepherds who truly feed them; fear and dismay shall leave the flock, and not one shall be wanting. [Verse 2] Behold, the coming days lift a Branch for David. A King shall reign, prosper, and understand. He works judgment and justice through the earth; Judah is saved and Israel dwells safely, and not one shall be wanting. [Bridge] The living oath will reach beyond Egypt: The LORD brought Israel's seed from the north, from every country where the flock was driven. Roads from dispersion bend toward one land; the scattered enter their own gates, and dwell upon their ground again. [Verse 3] The folds will ring with fruitful increase; the guarded sheep will feed and rest. Justice will travel from the throne to the field; the righteous Branch will stand over the land, and not one shall be wanting. [Outro] Branch of David; King who shall reign. Judah saved; Israel secure. THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, his name.
