STANZA z.
They wandered- in Desert and Waste,
For a City of Rest, but found none.
Their heart suffered hunger and thirst,
It wasted away in themselves ;
Then they cried to the Loan in their grief;
Who out of their anguish released,
And directed them to the right path,
To march to the City of Rest!
Cx-roaus.
Give thanks to they LORD for His mercy,
And His works for the children of men.
STANZA 3.
CARAVAN LEADER.
For He feeds the desiring soul,
And fills hungry bodies with joy!
The slaves in the Shadow of Death,
And the prisoners of anguish and iron,
Who rebelled from the message of Gon,
And rejected advice from the Highest.
They were weak thro' the sin of their hearts;
They stumbled, and none could give help;
But they cried to the LORD in their grief,
And He rescued from all their distress.
He led out from the Shadow of Death,
And stripped them from all of their chains!
Cnoaus.
‘ Give thanks to the LORD for His mercy,
And wonors He does for the children of men.?
S·rANzA 4.
CARAVAN LEADER.
He has shattered the doors made of brass,
And has cut up the iron·made bars;
Preparing a path from their grief,
And has from their suffering led out.
When their body rejected all food,
And they shook at the gateway of Death,
They cried to the LORD in their grief,
And He rescued from all their distress.
He sent out His word, and it healed,
And from their corruptions it freed l
Cnoxws.
‘Give thanks to the Loan for His mercy,
And wonders He does for the children of men l
S·rAnzA 5.
CARAVAN LEADER.
Now offer an offering of thanks,
And publish His Acts with a cheer;
You Sailors who traversethe Sea
On Oceans who work at Your Trade;
Who there see the works of the Loan,
And the Wonders He does on the Deep-!
He speaks :~··-and the storm will rise up,
And tempest the billows arouse,
They rise up to the skies;
In convulsions they fell!
