Ezekiel 37:11, 12: Messiah, full of grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Messiah, full of grace,
Redeem'd by Thee we plead
Thy promise made to Abraha?/i's race,
To souls for ages dead:
Their bones as quite dried up
Throughout our vale appear.
Cut off and lost their last faint hope
To see Thy kingdom here.
Open their graves, and bring
The outcasts forth, to own
Thou art the Lord, their God and King,
Their true Anointed One:
To save the race forlorn
Thy glorious arm display,
And show the world a nation born,
A nation in a day!
