Great Shepherd Who leadest Thy people in love, 'Mid cherubim dwelling, shine Thou from above; In might come and save us, Thy people restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
2
O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes, Affliction our portion, despised by our foes; O Lord, God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
3
A place for Thy people Thou, Lord, didst prepare, Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care; Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, Spread over the mountains from river to sea.
4
Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows, Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine.
5
The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down, Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown; The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do.
6
When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name we will praise, And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways; O Lord God almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
