Outcasts from Zion’s hallowed ground,
Wherefore should Israel’s sons, once blest,
Still roam the scorning world around?
2 Lord, visit Thy forsaken race;
Back to Thy fold the wanderers bring;
Teach them to seek Thy slighted grace,
And hail in Christ their promised king.
3 The veil of darkness rend in twain,
Which hides their Shiloh’s glorious light;
The severed olive branch again
Firm to its parent stock unite.
4 While Judah views his birthright gone,
With contrite shame his bosom move,
The Savior he denied to own,
The Lord he crucified to love.
5 Hail, glorious day, expected long!
When Jew and Greek one prayer shall pour:
With eager feet, one temple throng,
With grateful praise, one God adore. Used With Tune: WARRINGTON Text Sources: Christian Observer, November 1809
