O Thou Who the Shepherd of Israel Art

O Thou who the Shep­herd of Israel art

Give ear to our pray­er 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 sov­er­eign 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.
