ISRAEL

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
The tent, the altar, and the cloud Were outward tokens grand Of Him who led His people through A weary, desert land; And Israel’s God still lives and reigns, Still loves the fallen race, Still guides the fainting pilgrim on To happy resting-place.
The God of Jacob is our God; The cloud still hovers o’er The tents of earth, and shadows forth Bright glory evermore. The everlasting arms are strength, The mighty wings are shade; At feet of Israel’s Comforter Life’s burdens may be laid.
The Gentiles may be grafted in To Christ, the living vine, All nations know the peace and joy, And taste the bread and wine. The gospel note is to the world,— All hail the kingly King! Oh, praise him for his tender love! Oh, shout, ye saints, and sing!
The holy city is above— Jerusalem the blest. O city with the pearly gates! Thy streets are endless rest! The scattered tribes of Israel’s race United all will be; O joyful gathering soon to come In long eternity!
