Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock thou that dost Joseph guide; Shine forth, O thou that dost between the cherubims abide.
Thy people thou didst safely lead, like to a flock of sheep; By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou didst them conduct and keep.
From out of Sion hill, which of excellency And beauty the perfection is, God shined gloriously.
Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king, let all the people quake; He sits between the cherubims, let th' earth be mov'd and shake.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be safe.
Turn us again, O Lord our God, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be safe.
O Lord God, unto whom alone all vengeance doth belong; O mighty God, who vengeance own'st, shine forth, avenging wrong.
Turn us again, Lord God of hosts, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be safe.
Moreover, he the tabernacle of Joseph did refuse; The mighty tribe of Ephraim he would in no wise chuse:
But his own people, like to sheep, thence to go forth he made; And he, amidst the wilderness, them, as a flock, did lead.
Save me, O God, because the floods do so environ me, That ev'n unto my very soul come in the waters be.
O Lord, thou hast rejected us, and scatter'd us abroad; Thou justly hast displeased been; return to us, O God.
Lord, hear my pray'r, hide not thyself from my entreating voice:
My heart brings forth a goodly thing; my words that I indite Concern the King: my tongue's a pen of one that swift doth write.
Give ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh.
The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken, and did call The earth, from rising of the sun, to where he hath his fall.
