\\INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 12\\

This chapter contains a song of praise and thanksgiving for redemption
and salvation by Christ, of which the preceding chapter
\\#Isa 11:1-16\\ is a famous prophecy. It begins with an account of the
church's former uncomfortable and now comfortable state and condition,
\\#Isa 12:1\\ the foundation of whose comfort was Christ her salvation
and strength, and so her song, which engaged her trust, and dispelled
her fears, \\#Isa 12:2\\ hence encouragement to others to apply to the
fulness of Christ for grace, and fresh supplies of it, to be had with
joy, \\#Isa 12:3\\ and then follow certain mutual exhortations to
praise, exalt, and glorify Christ, with reasons enforcing them,
\\#Isa 12:4-6\\.
