Poetry.

"Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved."-Rom. xi. 25.

POOR outcast of Israel, we mourn thy sad fall,

For deeply thou'st drank of the wormwood and gall;
The blight of God's wrath has fallen heavy on thee,
Broken off were thy boughs from the good olive tree.

A deep debt we owe thee, thou poor exiled Jew,
For we were graff'd in to the place where you grew;
Life again from the root thou shalt one day receive,
And in Jesus, the crucified Saviour, believe.

With doubt, do ye question,

live;"

66

can these dry bones

O yes, when Jehovah commandment shall give,
The Spirit of God will enter these slain,
And a great living army will cover the plain.

The day is at hand, when the dew from on high
Will descend on the soil now so barren and dry;
Then the germ so long buried shall burst from the
tomb,

And the sweet rose of Sharon in Judah shall bloom.

Poor outcast of Israel, we long to embrace
With fraternal affection thy long oppress'd race;
We long for the time when, through Jesus, the Door,
Ye shall enter the sheepfold to wander no more.

We look for the dawn of a glorious day,

When the veil o'er their hearts shall be taken away;
When Gentile and Jew together shall come,
And worship the Lamb in the midst of the throne.
