Though we are weary
our very lives testify
steadfast is his love

injustice laughs, the weak wait
expectant with hope.

temple forgotten
Israel sought present pleasures
repent and rebuild

be pure in your love
do not be beguiled by lies
faithful Bride of Christ

like a hen with chicks
I long to gather you close
but you refuse this.
