Will they at last their Rock of Refuge find?
Will God regather them from East and West,
For nigh two thousand years borne down the wind
Of pitiless retribution and unrest?—
Would they might turn from their belated Quest,
And recognise in Christ great David's Son,
In Whom the Future and the Past are One!
