1 Now be the God of Israel blessed,
Who makes Hi s truth appear;
His mighty hand fulfills His Word,
And all the oaths He sware.
2 Now He bedews old David’s Root
With blessings from the skies;
He makes the Branch of Promise grow,
The promised Horn arise.
3 John was a prophet of the Lord,
To go before His face;
The herald which our Savior God
Sent to prepare His way.
4 He makes the great salvation known,
He speaks of pardoned sins;
While grace divine, and heav’nly love,
In its own glory shines.
5 "Behold the Lamb of God," He cries,
“That takes our guilt away:
I saw the Spirit o’er His head
On His baptizing day.
6 “Be every vale exalted high,
Sink every mountain low;
The proud must stoop, and humble souls
Shall His salvation know.
7 “The heathen realms with Israel’s land
Shall join in sweet accord;
And all that’s born of man shall see
The glory of the Lord.
8 "Behold the Morning-Star arise,
Ye that in darkness sit;
He marks the path that leads to peace,
And guides our doubtful feet."
