1. Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flockthou that dost Joseph guide;Shine forth, O thou that dost betweenthe cherubims abide.
2. In Ephraim's, and Benjamin'sand in Manasseh's sight,O come for our salvation;stir up thy strength and might.
3. Turn us again, O Lord our God,and upon us vouchsafeTo make thy countenance to shine,and so we shall be safe.
4. O Lord of hosts, almighty God,how long shall kindled beThy wrath against the prayer madeby thine own folk to thee?
5. Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to theminstead of bread to eat;Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'stto them in measure great.
6. Thou makest us a strife untoour neighbours round about;Our enemies among themselvesat us do laugh and flout.
