O Thou Who
the Shepherd
of Israel
art,
Give ear to
our pray’r
and Thy favor
impart;
Thou Leader
of Joseph,
Thou Guide of
his way,
’Mid cherubim
dwelling, Thy
glory
display.
In
Ephraim’s,
Manasseh’s
and
Benjamin’s
sight,
O come Thou
and save us;
awake in Thy
might.
O God, give
us favor,
restore to
Thy grace;
And then we
shall live in
the light of
Thy face.
From
Egypt’s dark
border a vine
Thou didst
take;
Destroying
the heathen
didst room
for it make.
Where planted
it grew at
Thy sov’reign
command,
With roots
deeply set
and boughs
filling the
land.
The axe
hews it down;
it is burned
in the fire;
They perish,
rebuked in
Thy terrible
ire.
O lay then
Thy hand on
the Man of
Thy might,
The Son of
Man made to
stand strong
in Thy sight.
No more
shall we
wander,
delighting in
shame;
Revive us, O
Lord, we will
call on Thy
Name.
O Lord God of
Hosts, us
restore to
Thy grace,
And then we
shall live in
the light of
Thy face.
