One Fresh and Holy Shoot (Jeremiah 33:15)

“A fresh and true shoot sprouting from the David-tree” (The Message)
words: Gary Hicks, copyright 2010 Gary L. Hicks
tune: “Italian Hymn” by Felice de Giardini, 1769
(Come Thou Almighty King)

One fresh and holy shoot
Sprouting from David’s tree
One righteous Branch
Ruling His people well
Judah and Israel
His gracious tidings tell
To all the world!

Yahweh our Righteousness
Comes to redeem and bless
God in our flesh
Born in obscurity
Such insecurity!
How can He ever be
Israel’s king?

Lord God who sets things right
Maker of day and night
Dying our death
Rising in victory
Setting the captives free
Praise through eternity
Jesus the Lord.
