Father of faithful Abra'm, hear
Our earnest suit for Abra'm's seed;
Justly they claim the softest pray'r
From those adopted in their stead:
Outcast from thee, and scattered wide
Thro' ev'ry nation under heav'n,
Rejecting whom they crucifi'd,
Unsav'd, unpity'd, unforgiv'n.
But hast thou finally forsook,
For ever cast thy own away?
No—thou wilt bid them turn and look
On him they piere'd, and mourn and pray.
Come, then, thou great Deliv'rer, come.
The veil from Jacob's heart remove;
Receive thy ancient people home,
That they may sing redeeming love.
