Who hath our report believed!
Shiloh come, is not received,
Not received by his own;
Promised branch from root of Jesse,
David's offspring, sent to bless ye,
Comes too meekly to be known!
Tell me, O thou favoured nation,
What is thy fond expectation?
Some fair spreading lofty tree?—
Let not worldly pride confound thee,
'Mong the lowly plants around thee,
Mark the lowest—that is he!
Like a tender plant that's growing,
Where no waters, friendly flowing,
No kind rains refresh the ground;
Drooping, dying, we shall view him,
See no charm to draw us to him,
And no beauty will be found.
Glory be to him who gave us—
Freely gave his Son to save us;
Glory to the Son, who came,
Honour, blessing, adoration,
Ever, from the whole creation.
Be to God, and to the Lamb!
