Isaiah 62:1

They were happy times, when the Lord's servants burned with an holy zeal for their Lord's honour; and the Church of Zion, whose name hath been from all eternity engraven on the Lord's hands, had the first affection in the people's hearts. Whoever was the person here spoken of that felt so ardent a concern for Zion, we must not over-look the Person of him whose zeal for his Father's house did eat him up. Psalms 69:9. Precious Lord Jesus! what were thy prayers for, in which thou didst spend whole nights, but for thy Zion! Who shall describe them? Luke 6:12.

Isaiah 62:1

1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
