Singing on Sunday night

I finished reading Joel last night. The first half of the book is full of warnings and judgment, the last half is full of the promises of salvation and restoration. As I was meditating on the promises of restoration, a Scripture chorus came to mind, which I began to sing:


Therefore the redeemed
Of the Lord shall return
And come with singing unto Zion,
And everlasting joy
Shall be upon their head. (2x)

They shall obtain gladness and joy,
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away. (Isaiah 51:11)


After singing this two or three times, another Scripture song came to mind. I thought they were wonderfully related:


Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
and to the house of our God (2x)

and he will teach us of his ways
and we will walk in his paths
for the law shall go forth out of Zion
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  (Isaiah 2:3)


I sang them the rest of the night. Praise the Lord! Amen!
