John 7:2: The feast of tabernacles

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

The feast of tabernacles
With joyful exultation
Thine Israel we
Observe to Thee
The God of our salvation;
From sin's Egyptian bondage
Who didst Thine own deliver,
Jesus we praise
Thy pardoning grace,
And love, that lives for ever.

We travel through this desert
Of trouble and vexation,
In booths remain.
Till we obtain
A lasting habitation;
The near celestial Canaan
To us by promise given.
The better feast,
The' eternal rest.
The inheritance of heaven.
