A Seedling of Jesse Shall Flower

Author: William V. Harcourt Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 A seedling of Jesse shall flower, A ruler descend from his line, Instinct with the spirit of power, The spirit of wisdom divine. 2 A judge to reprove for the meek, The mantle of justice to wear, To render their rights to the weak, The wrongs of the poor to repair. 3 Then none shall devour or hurt, When God has His dwelling with men; The babe with the scorpion shall sport, And play on the cockatrice’s den. 4 Then children the tiger shall lead; The wolves shall lie down with the flocks; The kid with the leopard shall feed, The lion eat straw with the ox. The word that goes forth from His mouth A light to the nations shall be, To spread from the north to the south, And flow like the tides to the sea.
