By whom shall Jacob now arise?
For Jacob's friends are few:
And, what should fill us with surprise.
They seem divided too.
By whom shall Jacob now arise?
For Jacob's foes are strong,
I read their triumph in their eyes,
They think he'll fall ere long.
By whom shall Jacob now arise?
Can any tell by whom?
Say, shall this branch that withered lies,
Again revive and bloom?
Lord, thou canst tell—the work is thine,
The help of man is vain—
On Jacob now arise and shine,
And be shall live again.
