Your Friend the LORD says thus,-—Israel’s HOI.Y,—-I am LIFE, Your Gon who leads to wealth, directs the path to march. Had you kept My Commands your peace would be like brooks, Your fortune rippling streams, your race would be like sand, And your offspring like its brood, and your name would never fail, Nor waste before My face. ODE 28. $1;; frnm ‘§¤lrzl. ‘ Come out from Babel, fly from the Kasdim ! ’ With a loud voice proclaim it and let it be heard; Send it forth to the bounds of the earth; The LGRD has redeemed His friend jacob l ’ They thirst not in the deserts they traverse ; For them Ha makes water to How from the rock, Splits the rocks and the waters rush out! T 0 the Wicked, the LORD gives no rest. ODE 29. Gil}: Qrnpbziis @25].18if Qliunsnlrir. Listen, Islands, to me and let Nations attend! The LORD called me from far, summoned me from the lap, From the womb of my mother to publish His power; Put my mouth a sharp sword in its sheath for His hand ; A sharp arrow, concealed in His quiver, has hid, Israel, My friend, and by whom I am honoured! Then I cried, ‘* I have wearied in vain, and exhausted my vigour for naught. Yet the LORD was my object,-—my work was for God? From the belly I formed you, To serve and turn jacob and Israel to Me.' 1`is enough ! I am honoured in sight of the LORD. Is this nothing? I made you My Agent to raise ]acob’s standard, To lead Israel back, be a light to the heathen, And a Saviour to be to the bounds of the Earth? ' Ons go. Tilly: Messiah.
