Hymn LXXIV. Common Metre Abraham's Blessing extended to the Gentiles

Gentiles by nature we belong To the wild olive wood; Grace took us from the barren tree, And grafts us on the good.

With the same blessings, grace endows The Gentile as the Jew! If pure and holy be the root, Such are the branches too.

Then let the children of the saints, Be sanctify'd to God; In that great covenant, confirm'd By water and by blood.

Thus to the parents, and their seed, Shall thy salvation come; And numerous households meet at last In one eternal home.
