| PRAY FOR ISRAEL'S ANCIENT RACE ... THE JEW [Author Unknown] |
Scattered by G-D's avenging hand, Afflicted and forlorn; Sad wanderers from their pleasant land; Do Judah's children mourn; And e'en in Christian countries; few Breathe thoughts of pity for the Jew. Yet, listen Gentile, do you love The Bible's precious page? Then let your heart with kindness move To Israel's heritage; Who traced those lines of love for you? Each sacred writer was a Jew. And then as years and Ages passed; And nations rose and fell; Though clouds and darkness oft were cast O'er captive Israel; The oracles of G-D for you Were kept in safety by the Jew. And when the great Messiah came For guilty man to bleed, He did not take an angel's name, No - born of Abraham's seed - Y'shua Jesus, who gave His life for you, The gentle Savior was a Jew. And though His own received Him not; And turned in pride away; Whence is the Gentile's happier lot? Are you more just than they? No; G-D in pity turned to you - Have you no pity for the Jew? Go, then, and bend your knee to pray For Israel's ancient race; Ask the dear Savior every day To call them by His grace; Go, for a debt of love is due From Christian Gentiles to the Jew. |
| [It was through the scattering of the Chosen People, Israel, that the nations of the world have come to know the one and only true and living G-D. For that, all Christians everywhere owe the Jews a great debt of gratitude.] |
