THE FATED RACE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WHAT! STILL REJECT THE FATED RACE
Last Line: IMMANUEL-WAS A JEW
Subject(s): HEROISM;ISRAEL;JEWS;SACRIFICES; HEROES;HEROINES;JUDAISM;

WHAT! still reject the fated race
Thus long denied repose,
What! madly striving to efface
The rights that Heaven bestows!

Say, flows not in each Jewish vein,
Unchecked, without control,
A tide as pure, as free from stain,
As warms the Christian soul?

Do ye not yet the times discern
That these shall cease to roam;
That Shiloh pledged for their return
Will bring his ransomed home?

Be error quick to darkness hurl'd!
No more with hate pursue,
For He who died to save a world—
Immanuel—was a Jew.
