176 Come now let us reason together, Says the Lord, Though your sins are as scarlet They shall be white as snow. Alas sinful nation, A people weighed down with sin, We have abandoned the Lord And turned away from Him. Our mind is sick And our heart is faint within, We are covered in bruises and sores And have no healing. So wash yourselves, now take Your evil deeds from My sight, Cease from evil and turn around To do what is right. Reproving the ruthless, Defending the helpless and poor, Where oppression has ruled, The reign of justice restore. Now if you consent and obey You'll eat from My hand, But rebellion will bring A sword to your land, For those who forsake the Lord Shall be brought to an end, But righteousness comes to redeem those Who turn again.
