“ By wham shall Jacob arise ?” Amos vii. 2.
T3Y whom shall Jacob now arise?”
For Jacob’s friends are few:
I And, (what should fill us with surprise).
They seem divided too.
By whom shall Jacob now arise ?”
For Jacob’s foes are strong;
II read their triumph in their eyes.
They think he’U fail e’er long.
By whom shall Jacob now arise ?”
Can any tell by whom ?
Say, shall this branch that wither’d lies.
Again revive and bloom ?
.Lord thou can’st tell—the work is thine.
The help of man is vain;
'On Jacob now arise and shine,
tl And he shall live again.

1 / will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee
fr<m the west, I will say to the north. Give up,
and to the smith. Keep not back, cf-c.” Is. xliii. 5. 6.
Ty/IY soul, with sacred joy survey,
The glories of the latter day:
Its dawn already seems begun,
And promises a future sun.
'The friends of truth assembled stand,
(A chosen consecrated band,)
The standard of the cross display.
And cry aloud, “ Behold the way.”
