Elijah's Hymn Post

O, Israel, the time is drawing nigh
When Loving-kindness will be o'er
O, Israel, your well is running dry
Come, taste the fount of life out-poured

O, Israel, return again to me
You seek the things that cannot save
O, Israel, despite Christ's death for thee
You trade you rights for those of slaves

O, Israel, my love, whom I adore
I brought thee out of Egypt's land
O, Israel, remember Christ, thy Lord
Who gave you life with nail-pierced hands

refrain:
I loved you when you did not love me
I gave you eyes so you would see
You are my bride bought with a price
The lamb of God's blood sacrifice
