i keep recognizing lyrics from church anthems, oratorios, and sacred solos in these last few chapters of Isaiah. Surprising how i sang them years ago and never considered the source or how little sense they made. Chapter 60:19 is an example. The moon gives no light at all, but this verse has been set to melody by Maurice Greene as well as other composers, and is still used widely by classical voice teachers (i found it for sale on several sites).
