ALAS! the Day is great and chief,
and none is like thereto,
It is the time of Jacob's grief,
but he shall well go through.

And it shall come to pass that day,
saith God the Lord of hosts,
That I will take the yoke away
that binds his neck so close.

And I will burst their bonds that hour,
they shall not bind a limb:
And strangers shall no more have power
to serve themselves of him.

But they shall serve the Lord their God,
and David their good King,
Whom I'le raise up with ruling rod
for their good governing.

O let the God of Israel then
be prais'd with one accord,
And people then say all Amen,
Amen, praise ye the Lord.
