68

THUS saith God of His Anointed

He shall let My people go

'Tis the work for Him appointed,

'Tis the work that He shall do And My city

He shall found, and build it too.

He whom man with scorn refuses,

Whom the favoured nation hates,

He it is Jehovah chooses

HIM THE HIGHEST PLACE AWAITS KINGS AND PRINCES

SHALL DO HOMAGE AT HIS GATES.

He shall humble all the scorners,

He shall fill His foes with shame

Ih' shall raise and comfort mourners

By the sweetness of His name:

To the captives

He shall liberty proclaim.

He shall gather those that wander'd,

When they hear the trumpet's sound

They shall join the sacred standard

They shall conic and flock around

HE SHALL SAVE THEM

THEY ,HALL BE WITH GLORY CROWN'D.
