The Hope of Israel - i. O Zion forsaken, an dscattered, an dpeeled, Though great ar eth yplagues th ybruise shall b e healed; The Lord who betrothed thee will favor restore, And thou shalt b e "Ammi," "Loammi" o n more. II. Thy sins a small moment have hidden Hi sface, But Love everlasting still offers thee grace; Abundant i n .pardon H ewaiteth t o give The sure mercies o f David an dsa yt o thee, "Live!" III. Thy Ransom i s found i n th eblood o f a Lamb More precious than bullock,, or heifer, o rra m Oft slain fo rth ypeace o n thine altars o f yore. Dear blood that once shed, need b e offered n o more. IV. Thy fathers, th esleepers, awaking shall come; Thy sons an dth ydaughters long exiled from home From lands o f their sojourn rich treasure shall bring, And gather, O Zion, t o David th yKing. V., Again shall th yheroes wa xvaliant i n fight; Again shall th ealien b escattered i n flight; And forth from th ygates th yfair virgins shall throng To welcome th ycaptains with timbrel an dsong. VI. The heart o f th emighty shall faint with th ydread; Thy flocks t o their pastures al lsafely b eled ; Thy warfare b e over; th ywanderings cease; And flow like a river th yfulness o f peace. VII. Thy hills with th eolive an dvine shall b e clad; Thy vales with t h ewealth o f t h eharvest b e glad; The desert an dwaste like bright Eden shall be ; And there shalt thou dwell, an dforever b efree. VIII. The Lord i n Hi smountain a banquet shall spread And there a t th ytable al lnations b e fed ; And thou filled with laughter shall publish th yglee; And forever th ysorrow forgotten shall be . IX. O Zion, repenting, trust no wi n Hi sWord; That t h etimes o f refreshing ma ycome from th eLord, And H eshall send Jesu Messiah again, Thy Glory an dFlower, God's Yea, an dAmen.
