EN 2425 The Two Views

Isa.55.8

Versi Version 1

1

To man, it seemed that Evil had prevailed,

That His fair life had altogether failed,

And naught was left but what the Cross impaled—

But God saw otherwise!

2

They would have hailed Him King, and with acclaim,

Upon the wings of His far reaching fame,

Have swept the land like a devouring flame;

But God saw otherwise!

3

It seemed as though His life had gone for naught—

Nothing to show for that long battle fought,

But a pale prisoner to the gibbet brought—

But God saw otherwise!

4

No lasting good seemed ever like to come

Of all His sowing—neither fruit nor bloom,

Instead—a felon’s cross, an alien tomb—

But God saw otherwise!

5

We, too, at times, come nigh to lose our hope,

When with life’s evils we no more can cope,

And in the dark with heavy hearts we grope;

But God saw otherwise!
