| Text reference: Isaiah 58: 1, 3-6 , 8, 9 |
| Lyrics: Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Wherefore have we fasted and thou seest not? Wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice be heard on high. Wilt thou call this a fast, an acceptable day to the Lord? Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health spring forth speedily:Then shalt thou call and the Lord shall answer: Here I am. Then shall thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry; and he shall say, Here I am. |
