When the house of Jacob’s sons
Their Canaan repossess, (Ezek. 37:25, Isa. 27:12-13, Jer. 30:3, Ezek. 36:24-28)
Shall not all thy chosen ones
Abide in perfect peace? (Isa. 26:3, John 14:27)
Trusting in the literal word,
We look for Christ on earth again: (Ezek. 37:26-28)
Come, our everlasting Lord,
With all thy saints to reign. (Rev. 20:4-6, Rev. 5:10, Rev. 22:5)
