Text:Messiah, full of Grace

CLXXIX. Messiah, full of Grace

1 Messiah, full of Grace
Redeem'd by thee we plead
The promise made to Abra'ms Race
To Souls for Ages dead.

2 Their Bones are quite dry'd up
Throughout the Vale appear;
Cut of and lost their last faint Hope
To see thy Kingdom here.

3 Open their Graves, and bring
The Outcasts forth to Own
Thou art their Lord, their God and King
Their true anointed One.

4 To save the Race Forlorn
Thy glorious Arm display;
And shew the World a Nation born,
A Nation in a Day!
