Zechariah 3:1-2 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)
"A Brand Pluck'd out of the Fire"
1. Awake, my soul, the grace admire
That view'd my state of woe,
That pluck'd me from eternal fire,
Eternal joys to know.
2. I was a wither'd useless brand,
Cast out in sin, and shame;
But Jesus Christ stretch'd forth his hand,
And pluck'd me from the flame.
3. Now, though the world presents its snares,
And flesh and sin conspire,
Jesus, my dearest Lord, declares,
He'll save me from the fire.
4. Satan himself shall feel dismay,
And disappointed stand,
While all his legions hear him say,
"This is a rescu'd brand."
5. This theme shall tune my harp of gold,
When I to heaven aspire:
While angels shout, and say, "behold
A brand pluck'd from the fire!"
