[Before that everlasting day]
The sons of them that afflicted thee shall come, &c.
—lx. 14.
Before that everlasting day
Which shall My Israel's foes consume,
With conscious shame, and sore dismay
Their cringing sons to thee shall come,
Thy proud oppressors shall bow down,
In suppliant guise thy feet embrace,
With deep remorse their error own,
And weep, and humbly sue for grace.
Which shall My Israel's foes consume,
With conscious shame, and sore dismay
Their cringing sons to thee shall come,
Thy proud oppressors shall bow down,
In suppliant guise thy feet embrace,
With deep remorse their error own,
And weep, and humbly sue for grace.
Whom once they hated and despised
They call the city of the Lord,
Sion by God beloved and prized,
Where God is known, confess'd, adored:
They own the Holy One is thine,
His holiness to thee is given,
Thou care of Providence Divine,
Thou choicest favourite of Heaven.
