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 num'rous households meet at last
In one eternal home.
