PRAY for Israel's ancient race

PRAY for Israel's ancient race...




The Jew




Scattered by God's avenging hand,


Afflicted and forlorn,


Sad wanderers from their pleasant land,


Do Judah's children mourn;


And e'en in Christian countries, few


Breathe thoughts of pity for the Jew.




Yet, listen Gentile, do you love


The Bible's precious page?


Then let your heart with kindness move


To Israel's heritage;


Who traced those lines of love for you?


Each sacred writer was a Jew.




And then as years and Ages passed,


And nations rose and fell,


Though clouds and darkness oft were cast


O'er captive Israel,


The oracles of God for you


Were kept in safety by the Jew.




And when the great Messiah came


For guilty man to bleed,


He did not take an angel's name,


No - born of Abraham's seed -


Y'shua Jesus, who gave His life for you,


The gentle Savior was a Jew.




And though His own received Him not,


And turned in pride away,


Whence is the Gentile's happier lot?


Are you more just than they?


No; God in pity turned to you -


Have you no pity for the Jew?




Go, then, and bend your knee to pray


For Israel's ancient race;


Ask the dear Savior every day


To call them by His grace;


Go, for a debt of love is due


From Christian Gentiles to the Jew.
