God Will Come in Glory

35 The desert and the parched land will be glad; 

the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. 

Like the crocus, ² it will burst into bloom; 

it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. 

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, 

the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; 

they will see the glory of the Lord, 

the splendor of our God. 

³ Strengthen the feeble hands, 

steady the knees that give way; 

⁴ say to those with fearful hearts, 

“Be strong, do not fear; 

your God will come, 

he will come with vengeance; 

with divine retribution 

he will come to save you.” 

⁵ Then will the eyes of the blind be opened 

and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 

⁶ Then will the lame leap like a deer, 

and the mute tongue shout for joy. 

Water will gush forth in the wilderness 

and streams in the desert. 

 Isaiah 35:1-6 (NIV, 1984)
