Gentiles By Nature, We Belong

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Then let the children of the saints Be dedicate to God, Pour out thy Spirit on them, Lord, And wash them in thy blood.

Verse 4

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