Isaiah 62

Which worship songs are based on Isaiah 62?

  1. (I Died) — Lacey Sturm (2023) Isaiah 62:2

    The repeated request for a new name, followed by the declaration that God supplied it, closely parallels Isaiah's promise that the Lord will give his restored people a new name.

  2. Hephzibah — Beckah Shae (2008) Isaiah 62:3-5

    The song directly adapts Isaiah’s description of Zion as a royal treasure in God’s hand and its renaming from abandonment to divine delight. Its closing comparison of God’s joy to a bridegroom’s joy also follows this passage, applying Zion’s promised restoration to the singer personally.

  3. Wildflowers — Franni Cash (2025) Isaiah 62:3

    The imagery of wearing a crown and being adorned with flowers suggests a connection to the verse in Isaiah where God's people are described as a crown of beauty in His hand, symbolizing honor and transformation.

  4. Sweet Beulah Land — Jason Crabb (2011) Isaiah 62:4

    The song’s destination takes its name from Isaiah’s designation of restored Zion as Beulah, meaning married. The song follows gospel tradition in applying that name to heaven, rather than retaining the passage’s original reference to Zion’s restoration.

  5. Beulah Land — Casting Crowns (2015) Isaiah 62:4

    The song's named homeland derives directly from Isaiah's name for the restored land, meaning married. The song adapts this image of restored belonging into a heavenly destination; Isaiah's immediate subject is Zion's restoration.

  6. Go Tell It on the Mountain — Brandon Heath (2013) Isaiah 62:6

    The speaker's appointment as a watchman on a city's wall closely echoes God's appointment of watchmen on Jerusalem's walls. This is a specific prophetic image rather than a general statement about spiritual vigilance.

  7. Angels — Brian Johnson & Bethel Music (2012) Isaiah 62:6

    The image of watchmen stationed on walls strongly recalls Isaiah’s watchmen posted over Jerusalem. The song adapts this image by identifying the watchmen as angels, which the passage itself does not explicitly do.

Isaiah 62 (King James Version)

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.

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
