Consecrate\n Yourselves again to-day unto His service, p. 48\n And should again your glad redemption dawn,\n Uplift yourselves sublime above all else,\n And mark the banner flown upon the mountains\n What time the horn resounds. O Lord, whose dread\n Sets all the world\u2019s inhabitants a-tremble,\n Be herald of good tidings to the people,\n So staunch beneath the adversary\u2019s yoke.\nThus when the ram\u2019s horn poureth forth its note\n And ye shall hear the Shofar\u2019s long-drawn peal,\n Thanksgiving offer up to God and song,\n And tell His mighty deeds and chant His praise\n According to the measure of His greatness.\n O praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet,\n So shall the Merciful show graciousness\n To you who cry, and as of old restore\n Your captives, yea the Lord of hosts o\u2019er you\n Shall keep His watch, with trumpet-blasts for warning.","title":"Selected Religious Poems of Solomon ibn Gabirol: 30.
