Ye Chosen Seed of Israel's Race........

At our SBC, we normally sing all the verses of every song. But of the 4 listed in our songbook, our song leader skipped verse 2 Sunday morning...

What say you?

All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
ye ransomed from the Fall,
hail Him who saves you by His grace,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
and crown Him Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe
on this terrestrial ball,
to Him all majesty ascribe,
and crown Him Lord of all.
To Him all majesty ascribe,
and crown Him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
we at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown Him Lord of all.
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown Him Lord of all.

It's worded differently here, in this version...

Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.

 

Biblically, the only "seed" of "Abraham" or "Israel's chosen race" are those who are "ransomed from the fall" and "saved by grace", whether they be Jew or Gentile....See (Romans 9:6-8) so, I would say that the second verse of the song is scriptural. However; That does not negate the fact that the physical nation of Israel, namely the Jews, are still God's chosen nation and he has not cast them away. America, or anyone else, had better be friends to the Jews. Anyway, I will have to ask my pastor why we didn't sing the verse.

We had a preacher come to our church once who told me he would never sing the last verse of Praise my soul the king of heaven.

Angels help us to adore Him, ye behold him face to face.

He said that was pure Catholicism.

It seems some hymn book compilers agree as they change the last verse to:

Angels in the heights adore him, they behold him face to face.
