Israel of God
Oh Israel perfect in prettiness
your own mother cast you out
and your brothers oppress you
But I have delighted in you
shielded you from their malice
separated you for myself
covered you with my own radiance
and betrothed you to my Son
You are the jewels of the Crown
I have worked my work
as a refiner burned away your dross
and made you more precious than gold
I will send for you with the chariots of your King
ten thousand times ten thousands your retinue
those who hated you
will see you glorified
For I myself have decreed it
I will lift you up before the nations
just a little while
take courage I myself with strengthen you
and the Son of my Love will guide you
with you the treasury will complete
and the wealth of the nations mine
Hold fast to the things you have
for my reward is with me
I will make you not ashamed
for the former things will pass away
and all things created new in you
Amen come Lord Jesus
