HYMN CXLIV.
[Let both Jews and Gentiles join]
Let both Jews and Gentiles join,
Friends and enemies combine,
Vent their utmost rage on me,
Still I look through all to Thee;
Friends and enemies combine,
Vent their utmost rage on me,
Still I look through all to Thee;
326
Humbly own it is the Lord!
Let Him wake on me His sword:
Lo, I bow me to Thy will;
Thou Thy whole design fulfil.
Let Him wake on me His sword:
Lo, I bow me to Thy will;
Thou Thy whole design fulfil.
Stricken by Thine anger's rod,
Dumb I fall before my God;
Or my dear Chastiser bless,
Sing the paschal psalm of praise.
Dumb I fall before my God;
Or my dear Chastiser bless,
Sing the paschal psalm of praise.
While the bitter herbs I eat,
Him I for my foes intreat;
Let me die, but oh! forgive,
Let my pardon'd murderers live.
Him I for my foes intreat;
Let me die, but oh! forgive,
Let my pardon'd murderers live.
