Father, now to Israel raise
Thy servant and thy Son, (Luke 1:69)
Christ our heavenly David place (I Sam. 7:12-16)
On his terrestrial throne: (Ezek. 37:24, Ezek. 34:23-24, Ps. 132:11-12)
Found of Christ, the shepherd good, (Ezek. 37:24, John 10:11-14)
Let every wand’ring sinner find
Him, who ransom’d with his blood (Heb. 9:12-14, I Pet. 1:18-19, Rev. 5:9)
The souls of all mankind. (II Tim. 2:5-6)
Father, now to Israel raise
