Where Cowper found it

Cowper printed the hymn under Isaiah 12. The line that comes closest to it is marked.

1In that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You. Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You have comforted me. 2Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.” 3With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation, 4and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted. … 2 more verses ISAIAH 12 · ITS FIRST VERSES · BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE READ ISAIAH 12
