O God of hosts, we thee beseech, return now unto thine; Look down from heav'n in love, behold, and visit this thy vine:
Turn yet again to us, O Lord, how long thus shall it be? Let it repent thee now for those that servants are to thee.
The Lord from heav'n sees and beholds all sons of men full well:
So shall th' assembly of thy folk about encompass thee: Thou, therefore, for their sakes, return unto thy place on high.
