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.
