Jacob's Prophecy of Shiloh

Verse 1

Shiloh shall come—the Prophet cries, As death illumes his closing eyes; O'er people, kindreds, tongues he sways: And Judah claims no more, the praise.

Verse 2

Thou long foretold—yet great unkonwn, Shiloh! ascend salvation's throne. Gath'rer of nations come, oh come! Leader! Commander, guide us home!

Verse 3

Speak but the word, and light shall be; That light of life which points to thee; Where all thy works—ador'd I AM! Shall glorify thy glorious name.
