ADORATION, by                    
First Line: To israel the charge belongs
Last Line: And one thy name shall be.
Subject(s): God; Israel; Jews; Love; Worship; Judaism


TO Israel the charge belongs
Their grateful hearts to raise;
To speak, in glad, triumphant songs,
The Lord Almighty's praise.

His hand the universe hath wrought,
The starry heavens o'erhead;
From darkness He His people brought
The light of truth to spread.

We bow the head, we bend the knee,
And worship Him alone;
The King of Kings whose majesty
And sovereign power we own.

He is our God, the only Lord,
Our King is truth indeed;
His sovereign power His laws record
As taught to Israel's seed.

Grant Thou our hope, Almighty King,
That promised day to see,
When nations shall Thy praises sing,
And bend the knee to Thee.

The reign of truth and peace begun,
Our sin and error flee;
Thou art alone, proclaimed the One,
And One Thy Name shall be.
