Bethel

Bethel, House of God, where Jacob knelt in thy awe
Evoke again that Hamitic vision here sweet,
Templing angels to the sky. Invoke in us thy law
Holy, just, good and true, rolling back waves of defeat
Emanuel, uprise from Mercy's throne to lead
Lambs of God where in green pastures by faith we feed.
