30 A Song of God’s Herald

Refrain:

AllGod will feed his flock like a shepherd,
and gather the lambs in his arms.

1Go up to a high mountain,
herald of good tidings to Zion; ♦
lift up your voice with strength,
herald of good tidings to Jerusalem.

2Lift up your voice, fear not; ♦
say to the cities of Judah, ‘Behold your God!’

3See, the Lord God comes with might, ♦
and his arm rules for him.

4Behold, his reward is with him, ♦
and his recompense before him.

5God will feed his flock like a shepherd, ♦
and gather the lambs in his arms;

6He will carry them in his breast, ♦
and gently lead those that are with young.

Isaiah 40. 9-11

AllGlory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

AllGod will feed his flock like a shepherd,
and gather the lambs in his arms.
