Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: See, Isr'el's tribes brought near to God Lyrics: 1 See Isr'el's tribes brought near to God;
And ev'ry prince present his rod:
Whilst one alone with blossoms blooms,
And sheds the almond's rich perfumes.
2 'Twas his, the type of him divine,
Whom thou, O Lord, hast chose as thine;
The man, the priest, the stem, the root,
Who bears for us immortal fruit.
3 Jesus, High Priest of good to come!
Thy rod, thy staff shall guide us home:
Thro' death's dark vale, we'll trust its pow'r,
Nor fear a shadow's shaded hour. Topics: The Shadow of the Law, reflecting the Body, which is Christ Scripture: Numbers 17:2 Languages: English
