Israel of God

Oh Israel              perfect in prettiness

your own mother           cast you out

and your brothers oppress you

 

But I have delighted in you

                   shielded you from their malice

                             separated you for myself

covered you with my own radiance 

                   and betrothed you to my Son

 

You are the jewels of the Crown

                    I have worked my work

                            as a refiner burned away your dross

and made you more precious than gold

 

I will send for you with the chariots of your King

                     ten thousand times ten thousands your retinue

those who hated you

                     will see you glorified

 

For I myself have decreed it

                     I will lift you up before the nations

                                  just a little while 

take courage                 I myself with strengthen you

and the Son of my Love will guide you

                    with you the treasury will complete

 

                              and the wealth of the nations mine

 

Hold fast to the things you have

                      for my reward is with me

                      I will make you not ashamed

for the former things will pass away

and all things created new in you

 

Amen come Lord Jesus
