1.
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.
2.
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.”
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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!
