Thou, that without a priest or sacrifice,
Ephod or temple, lone ’mid human kind,
Cleav’st to thy statutes with unswerving mind,
As though enthroned upon His mercy-seat,
The spreading of the cherubim between,
Jehovah yet were seen!
Hebrew, come forth! dread not the light of day,
Dread not the insulter’s cry;
The arch that rose o’er thy captivity
No more shall turn thee from thy destined way.”
