Thy people thou didst safely lead, like to a flock of sheep; By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou didst them conduct and keep.
But his own people, like to sheep, thence to go forth he made; And he, amidst the wilderness, them, as a flock, did lead.
Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock thou that dost Joseph guide; Shine forth, O thou that dost between the cherubims abide.
