Messiah comes! ye rugged paths be plain! The Shiloh comes! ye towering cedars bend; Swell forth, ye valleys; and, ye rocks, descend; The withered branch let balmy fruits adorn, And clustering roses twine the leafless thorn; Burst forth, ye vocal groves, your joy to tell— The God of Peace redeems His Israel.
