Israel's New-Year

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
At New-year by the mount of blessing stand God's chosen, listening to the great amen That seems a cadence from some anthem grand Invoking heaven's peace, good will to men.
From Ebal's mount the awful word alone, So let him be accursed, sounds o'er the plain; They build an altar, for each tribe a stone, Then haste to join Gerizim's grand refrain.
On this blest mount stands Judah as a king, And Levi in his faithful ministry, And Joseph's sons who bear the signet ring Of double blessing for his charity.
Whoe'er Jehovah's altar will uprear And answer in Gerizim's great amen, For him each day rich jewels will appear,— Beatitudes for New-year's diadem.
