[Hook] Take away the filthy garments, Take 'em away, take 'em away, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity To pass away, pass away. A brand plucked out of the fire, Clothed with change of raiment, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan— My servant the BRANCH is coming. [Verse 1] Joshua the high priest, standing before The angel of the LORD, Satan at his right hand, Standing there 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? Joshua clothed in filthy garments, Standing before the angel. Then a word came down— Take those garments away, “I have caused thine iniquity To pass from thee this day.” [Pre-Chorus] Change of raiment, Fair mitre on his head, Clothed him with garments, And the angel of the LORD stood by. [Hook] Take away the filthy garments, Take 'em away, take 'em away, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity To pass away, pass away. A brand plucked out of the fire, Clothed with change of raiment, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan— My servant the BRANCH is coming. [Verse 2] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, “If thou wilt walk in my ways, And if thou wilt keep my charge,” Hear what the LORD would say: “Then thou shalt also judge my house, And shalt also keep my courts, And I will give thee places to walk Among these that stand by.” Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, Thou and thy fellows, hear: “For, behold, I will bring forth My servant the BRANCH.” Behold the stone before Joshua, Upon one stone seven eyes, “I will engrave the graving thereof,” Saith the LORD of hosts on high. [Bridge] And I will remove The iniquity of that land— How long? **In one day.** And I will remove The iniquity of that land— When? **In one day.** In that day shall ye call Every man his neighbour, Under the vine, Under the fig tree. [Final Hook] Take away the filthy garments, Take 'em away, take 'em away, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity To pass away, pass away. A brand plucked out of the fire, Clothed with change of raiment, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan— Behold, my servant the BRANCH. [Outro] Behold, I will bring forth My servant The BRANCH.
