Text Based On Exodus Chapter 23
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year
His Sacred Year We Greet
Another year completed, the day comes round once more,
With Yeshua's radiance, still bright as heretofore.
Now, strong in hope, united, His Sacred Year we greet;
He will present our troubles before the mercy seat.
The Scriptures tell how Moses did for the people pray,
Appeased the Judge eternal, and turned his wrath away;
Elijah's prayer had power, to close and open heaven:
Such saints as were aforetime, such saints we now await.
O Saint of God, belovèd, and placed on his right hand,
Thy prayers be like a rampart as 'gainst the foe we stand;
For Abraham's God is thy God, and Isaac's God is thine,
Thine is the God of Jacob, the Lord of power benign.
For forty years His Israel He fed with angels' food;
The flinty rock he opened the streams of water flowed.
Entreat that Christ His people may lead to victory:
The God of Joshua's triumph the Lord thy God is he.
