1 HEAR, Israel's Shepherd! like a flock
Thou that dost Joseph guide;
Shine forth, O thou that dost between
The cherubim abide.
2 In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's,
And in Manasseh's sight,
Do thou for our salvation come;
Stir up thy strength and might.
3 Turn us again, O Lord our God,
And upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
And so we shall be safe.
4 O Lord of hosts, almighty God,
How long shall kindled be
Thy wrath against the prayer made
By thine own folk to thee?
5 Thou tears of sorrow givest them
Instead of bread to eat;
Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st
To them in measure great.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto
Our neighbours round about;
Our enemies among themselves
At us do laugh and flout.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts,
And upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
And so we shall be safe.
8 A vine from Egypt thou didst bring
By thine outstretched hand:
And thou didst cast the heathen out
And plant it in their land.
9 A place thou didst prepare for it,
Where it might grow and stand;
Thou madest it deep root to take,
And cover all the land.
10 The mountains veiled were with its shade,
As with a covering;
The goodly cedars with the boughs
Which out of it did spring.
11 Upon the one hand to the sea
Her boughs she forth did send;
Upon the other to the flood
Her branches did extend.
12 Why hast thou then thus broken down
And torn her hedge away;
So that all passers-by do pluck,
And make of her a prey?
13 The boar that from the forest comes
Treads down and wastes it still;
The wild beast also of the field
Devours it at his will.
14 O God of hosts, we thee beseech,
Return now unto thine;
Look down from heaven in love, behold,
And visit this thy vine:
15 This vine tree, which thine own right hand
Hath planted us among;
And that same branch, which for thyself
Thou hast made to be strong.
16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire,
'Tis utterly cut down;
They quickly to destruction go
When once thy face doth frown.
17 O let thy hand be still upon
The man of thy right hand,
The Son of man, whom for thyself
Thou madest strong to stand.
18 So henceforth we will not go back,
Nor turn from thee at all:
O do thou quicken us, and we
Upon thy name will call.
19 Turn us again, Lord God of hosts,
And upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
And so we shall be safe.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
1 ¶ Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 ¶ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
