On him they pierced, and weep, and pray ?
Yes, gracious Lord, thy word is past ;
All Israel shall he saved at last.
4 Come, then, thou great Deliverer, come !
The veil from Jacob's heart remove ;
Receive thy ancient people home !
That, quicken'd by thy dying love,
The world may their reception find
Life from the dead for all mankind.
HYMN 452. d. s. m.
1 \ LMIGHTY God of Love,
^*- Set up the' attracting sign,
And summon whom thou dost approve
For messengers divine :
From favour'* d Abraham's Seed
The new Apostles choose,
In isles and continents to spread
The dead-reviving news.
2 Them, snatch'd out of the flame,
Through every nation send,
The true Messiah to proclaim,
The universal Friend ;
That all the God unknown
May learn of Jews to' adore,
And see thy glory in thy Son,
Till time shall be no more
For Believers Interceding. 4<2o
O that the chosen band
Might now their brethren bring,
And, gather' d out of every land.
Present to S ion's King !
Of all the ancient race,
Not one be left behind ;
But each, impell'd by secret grace,
His wav to Canaan find.
4 We know it must be done,
For God hath spoke the word ;
All Israel shall the Saviour own,
To their first state restored :
Rebuilt by his command,
Jerusalem shall rise ;
Her temple on Moriah stand
Again, and touch the skies.
5 Send then thy servants forth,
To call the Hebrews home ;
From East, and West, and South, and North,
Let all the wanderers come :
Where'er in lands unknown
The fugitives remain,
Bid every creature help them on,
The Holy Mount to gain.
6 An offering to their Lord,
There let them all be seen,
Sprinkled with water and with blood.
In soul and body clean :
With Israel's myriads seal'd,
Let all the nations meet,
And show the mystery fulfill'd,
The family complete !

HYMN 453. d. s. m.
For England.
I CINNERS, the call obey,
^ The latest call of grace ;
The day is come, the vengeful dav
Of a devoted race ;
Devils and men combine
To plague the faithless seed,
And phials, full of wrath divine,
Are bursting on your head.
