Balaam\'s Oracles (4)

Tune & Hymn: All For Jesus

Numbers 24 v.17-24

***********

I shall see Christ here, but not now

Shall behold Him, I avow

There shall come a star from Israel

A Sceptre rise, all shall tell

 

He shall smite to Moab\'s corners

Destroy Sheth, God\'s word assures

Edom, Seir, Israel they shall

Possess, shall do valiant, well

 

From Israel shall He the Christ rule

He shall have dominion full

Amalek shall perish never

They shall recover never

 

And you Kenites, strong your dwelling

Safe and sturdy everything

You have built your nest in a rock

But shall experience shock

 

For you shall be wasted until

Assyria comes, then will

Carry you away captive, you

Shall not prosper nor renew

 

Alas, who shall live when this be!

For God shall act, do this, see

Ships shall come from Cyprus coastland

Against Assyria their hand

 

So Israel they shall be blessed sure

Be under the curse no more

Balaam these oracles he spake

God\'s words did to Israel take
