Goel

Brother, Christ, avenge me!
Take back what once was mine!
Deliver it from Satan's grasp,
And I will make it Thine!

Seek out the foe that wronged me!
Pursue him to the gate!
Unlock him from his prison cell,
And wrest from him his hate!

Oh, Christ, the Blood of Abel
Doth cry out from the ground!
Hear selfsame plea outpoured in me
And seal this seeping wound!

My Kinsman, my Redeemer,
Inheritance I've lost!
The thief has stolen all that I
Had purchased at high cost!

Unsheathe your sword from scabbard!
Draw high your holy blade!
Destroy the villain who has kept
My treasures in his cave!

Yeshua, my salvation!
Go back now to the grave!
Lie down again in death, wherein,
My children, too, you save!
