Gentiles praying for Jews

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXXII (1792) First Line: Father of faithful Abraham hear Lyrics: 1 Father of faithful Abra'm, hear Our earnest suit for Abra'ms seed; Justly they claim the softest prayer From us, adopted in their stead: Who mercy thro their fall obtain, And Christ by their rejection gain. 2 Outcasts from thee and scatter'd wide Thro' every nation under Heaven Blaspheming whom they crucify'd, Unsav'd, unpity'd, unforgiv'n. Branded like Cain, they bear the load, Abhor'd of men, and curs'd of God. 3 But hast thou finally forsook, For ever cast thy own away? Wilt thou not bid the murderers look On him they pierc'd, and weep and pray? Yes gracious Lord, thy word is past: "All Israel shall be sav'd at last." 4 Come then, thou great deliverer come! The Veil from Jacob's heart remove, Receive thy ancient people home; That quicken'd by thy dying love, The world may their reception view And shout to God, the glory due.
