1 Israel's Shepherd, hear our prayer, leading Joseph by your care, throned between the cherubim, light for us, as once for him: waken all your mighty powers; Israel's Shepherd, Lord, be ours! Restore us now, O God, we pray and make your face shine on our ways: restore us, that we may be saved! 2 God of hosts, O Lord, how long will your wrath be burning strong? You were angered by our prayers, feeding us the bread of tears; to our neighbours we bring strife while our foes deride our life. Restore us, God of hosts, we pray and make your face shine on our way: restore us, that we may be saved! 3 Out of Egypt's land you brought one choice vine, and set apart, planted it and cleared the ground, kept it till it filled the land: mountains nestled in its shade, coast to coast its branches spread. 4 Lord, why now destroy her hedge? Strangers strip her foliage, forest animals make free God of hosts, look down and see! Bless from heaven this chosen root; as a father, guard its fruit! 5 Now your vine is cut and burned like the flock your wrath has spurned; touch again your chosen son, firstborn, raised for you alone, that we turn not back to shame, but for life we plead your name. Revive, restore, Lord God of hosts: Shine on us so we are not lost and save us to the uppermost!
