Hymn 428
By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?'
- mf "By whom. Lord, shall Jacob arise?"
His friends are very few;
What is surprising is this that
They are not'n one accord.
- mf "By whom. Lord, shall Jacob arise?"
His enemies are cruel
f They joy as if they have triumphed
p And said, "He is finished."
- mf "By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?"
Can anybody say?
p The dried up branch there on the ground
cr Can it bloom any more?
- mf O Lord my God, it is Thy work
No one else can do it;
p Descend like the dew on Jacob
f And Jacob shall arise.
