Unto God, our King, Joy and strength of Israel, Lofty anthems sing; Glorious are His ways, To His Name give praise With the harp and timbrel.

This our festal day Jacob's God has given; Solemn joy display Throughout all the land; This is the command Of the God of heaven.

"Hear, my children, hear," Saith the Lord who bore thee; "Never serve nor fear Gods of wood or stone; I am God alone, Worship and adore Me."

"Open," saith the Lord, "Wide thy mouth, believing This My covenant-word: 'I will, if thou plead, Fill thine every need, All thy wants relieving.'

"O that to My voice Israel would hearken! Then they would rejoice, Walking in My ways, Bright and joyous days Ne'er a foe would darken."

"Most abundant good, -If thou wouldst but prove Me- E'en the choicest food, Honey from the comb, Wheat the finest known, I would pour upon thee." |
