Suun z.
Mako the Mountains bear peace for the Race,
And Righteousuess spring ou the Hills.
Let him to the poor man be justice,
Save the wretched, and strike down the vile.
STANZA 3.
Let them look for You as for the Sun,
And the face ofthe Moon in its times.
Let him fall like the dew on a. fleece,
And like patterixig showers on Earth.
In his days let righteousness bloom,
Andgreat peace to the westering moon,
And extend from the Sea to the Sea,
From the River} to bounds of the Land.
To him make the Savages kneel,
And his enemies lick up the dust,
Kings from Tarshish and Isles tribute bring,
Kings of Sheba, and Saba. bring wealth.
All the Kingdoms shall bow, all the Nations shall serve,
For he will deliver the wretched who cry,
And the poor who have none to console,
And will pity the weak in despair,
And the lives of the wretched will save
Free their lives from oppression and wrong,
And their blood will be dear in his eyes,
For their life he will give Sheba’s gold,
And continually pray, for their sakes,
And him every Nation will bless.
SrANzA 4.
Thick corn then shall cover the Land,
To the top of the Hills it shall wave,
And fruits shall like Lebanon bloom,
WithiCities like grass on the earth!
Let his ·name.for ever remain ;
Be proclaimed in the face ofthe Sun,
And theprosperous Nations still bless!
Cuonvs.
Bless T1-la L1F1z,whois Israells GOD,
For none can do wonders like Him!
For ever bless His Mighty Name,
And Eli all the Earth with His Might.;
Amen I and Amen!
