Isaiah 11:1: There shall come forth a rod out of the stem, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Branch of Jesse's stem, arise,
And in our nature grow,
Turn our earth to paradise.
By flourishing below:
Bless us with the Spirit of grace
Immeasurably shed on Thee,
Pour on all the faithful race
The streaming Deity.
