10064. Gentiles By Nature

1 Gentiles by nature, we belong
To the wild olive wood;
Grace took us from the barren tree,
And grafts us in the good.

2 With the same blessings grace endows
The Gentile and the Jew;
If pure and holy be the root,
Such are the branches, too.

3 Then let the children of the saints
Be dedicate to God;
Pour out Thy Spirit on them, Lord,
And wash them in Thy blood.

4 Thus to the parents and their seed
Shall Thy salvation come,
And numerous households meet at last
In one eternal home.
