Analysis of The Glorified Branch
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
On that day the branch of the Lord,
Shall be beautiful and brilliant;
The fruit of the land in one accord,
Pride and honor to the servant.
It shall come to pass in Zion,
To remain in Jerusalem;
Fiery roars of the lion,
As the heathen God will condemn.
He washes filth of the daughters,
Cleanse the bloodstains by the Spirit;
Drench judgment with burning waters,
Of all the immoral merit.
The Lord will create a dwelling place,
Her assemblies a cloud by day;
Flaming fire at night by grace,
Guiding the faithful who obey.
All the glory as a defense,
A shield by the day from the heat;
Shelter from storms that are intense,
Rain that is blocking from deceit.
