English text
I look from afar:
and lo, I see the pow’r of God coming,
and a cloud cov’ring the whole earth.
Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come
to rule over thy people Israel?
High and low, rich and poor, one with another.
Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come
to rule o’er thy people Israel?
O come.
Hear, O thou Shepherd of Israel,
thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep.
Tell us, art thou he that should come?
Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come.
Come to reign o’er thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and lo, I see the pow’r of God coming,
and to the Holy Ghost.
and a cloud covering the whole earth.
Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come
to reign o’er they people Israel?
