By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. For the Jews.
      1 MESSIAH, full of grace,
      Redeemed by thee, we plead
      The promise made to Abraham's race,
      To souls for ages dead.

      2 Their bones, as quite dried up,
      Throughout the vale appear:
      Cut off and lost their last faint hope
      To see thy kingdom here.

      3 Open their graves, and bring
      The outcasts forth, to own
      Thou art their Lord, their God and king,
      Their true Anointed One.

      4 To save the race forlorn,
      Thy glorious arm display!
      And show the world a nation born,
      A nation in a day!
