Love Poem: Israel of God

Israel of God

Oh Israel              perfect in prettiness
your own mother           cast you out
and your brothers oppress you
 
But I have delighted in you
                   shielded you from their malice
                             separated you for myself
covered you with my own radiance 
                   and betrothed you to my Son
 
You are the jewels of the Crown
                    I have worked my work
                            as a refiner burned away your dross
and made you more precious than gold
 
I will send for you with the chariots of your King
                     ten thousand times ten thousands your retinue
those who hated you
                     will see you glorified
 
For I myself have decreed it
                     I will lift you up before the nations
                                  just a little while 
take courage                 I myself with strengthen you
and the Son of my Love will guide you
                    with you the treasury will complete
 
                                        and the wealth of the nations mine
 
Hold fast to the things you have
                      for my reward is with me
                      I will make you not ashamed
for the former things will pass away
and all things created new in you
 
Amen come Lord Jesus
