A Fountain Shall Come Forth

Joel 3:17-21

[Movement I] The mountain is holy because the LORD is there, No conqueror crosses as owner again. Wine on the mountain and milk on the hill, A fountain shall come from the house of the LORD, [Movement II] Rivers wake Judah and run through the vale. Life does not cancel the blood that was shed, Justice remembers what empires forget. Watering dry ground beyond the temple wall. [Movement III] Judah shall dwell and Jerusalem remain, Generation to generation under one name. The stream in the valley and the throne on the height, Mercy with holiness, abundance with right. [Bridge] Know that the LORD is the God in the midst, The book ends not with locust, but presence and spring. [Coda] A fountain shall come from the house of the LORD, Watering dry ground beyond the temple wall. Know that the LORD is the God in the midst, The book ends not with locust, but presence and spring.
