Great God of Ab­ra­ham! hear our pray­er
Let Ab­ra­ham’s seed Thy mer­cy share;
O may they now at length re­turn,
And look on Him they pierced, and mourn.

Remember Ja­cob’s flock of old;
Bring home the wan­der­ers to Thy fold;
Remember too Thy pro­mised word,
Israel at last shall seek the Lord.

Though out­casts still, es­tranged from Thee,
Cut off from their own ol­ive tree;
Why should they long­er such re­main?
For Thou canst graft them in again.

Lord, put Thy law with­in their hearts,
And write it in their in­ward parts;
The veil of dark­ness rend in two,
Which hides Mes­si­ah from their view.

Oh! haste the day, fore­told so long,
When Jew and Greek, a glo­ri­ous throng,
One house shall seek, one pray­er shall pour,
And one Re­deem­er shall ad­ore!
