Before the altar of the Lord, in Shiloh's holy fane,
With offerings for the sacrifice, from Ramah's fruitful plain,
A meek and pious Mother came, with her first and darling child,
And thus addressed the aged Priest, in accents sweet and mild.
"O, venerable man of God!-sage counsellor and guide-
Thine handmaid is indeed the one who knelt here by thy side,
In bitterness of spirit-in silence and despair,-
And breathed before this sacred shrine, a fervent heartfelt prayer:
She breathed an humble prayer to him, who rules the earth and skies,
And pledged a solemn vow, upon his place of sacrifice-
That if the God of Israel's hosts vouchsafed her a male child,
To consecrate him to the Lord-young, pure and undefiled."
The Lord is bountiful and great, and blessed is his name,
He lifteth up the lowly heart, and brings the proud to shame.
The Lord is our salvation, our strength, our rock, our stay,
The sorrowful, he maketh glad, and wipes their tears away.
My supplications have prevailed-the Lord received my vow,
And now I cone, before his throne, in gratitude to bow,
Within this holy Temple-and, with thankfulness and joy,
I give the service of the Lord, my young and spotless boy.
