Shadow of Shiloh

"The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh (i.e., the One who brings peace) come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be" (Genesis 49:10).

Shiloh, Bringer of our peace,
Spread Your shadow over us.
Let the joy and praise increase
Of your people gathered thus.

Jesus, as was prophesied,
We are gathered in Your name.
We remember that You died,
As foretold, to bear our shame.

Jesus, Shiloh, Lord of all,
We draw near to crown You King!
In Your shadow we recall,
For our sakes, Your suffering.

Shiloh, Savior, Lord alone,
Center of our love and praise,
Take the scepter and the throne
Of our hearts that You amaze!
