Text: | Great Shepherd Who Leadest Thy People |
Tune: | CARITAS |
Composer: | Adoniram J. Gordon |
1 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.
