God in Christ, appear, and seal
Thy covenant of peace, (Ezek. 34:25, Ezek. 37:26, Num. 25:12, Isa. 54:10)
With us in the desart dwell,
And evil beasts shall cease, (Ezek. 34:25)
Lions shall no more devour, (Isa. 35:9)
Nor wolves infest thy quiet sheep, (Isa. 11:6, Isa. 65:25)
None shall dare approach the bower
Where in thy arms we sleep. (Ezek. 34:25, Hosea 2:18)
God in Christ, appear, and seal
