Hymn 865
By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Amos 7:2
1
“By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?"
His friends are very few,
What is surprising is this that
They are not’n one accord.
2
"By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?”
His enemies are cruel
They joy as if they have triumphed
And said, “He is finished.”
3
"By whom, Lord, shall Jacob arise?”
Can anybody say?
The dried up branch there on the ground
Can it bloom any more?
4
O Lord my God, it is Thy work
No one else can do it;
Descend like the dew on Jacob
And Jacob shall arise.
