Hear us O Shepherd of Your chosen race
You led us like a flock within Your care
From out the cherubim reveal Your face
Before Your people let Your might appear
Restore us Lord Your saving power release
Make Your face shine on us and give us peace

How long O Lord will You disdain our prayer
For You have fed us with the bread of tears
Your holy anger brings us to despair
The nations mock us with their scornful jeers
Restore us Lord Your saving power release
Make Your face shine on us and give us peace

You brought a vine from Egypt with Your hand
You drove the nations out to give it room
It took deep root and spread throughout the land
The hills were covered with its shade and bloom
Under its branches mighty cedars hide
It sent out shoots to sea and riverside

Why have You broken down the vineyard wall
So that its grapes are eaten off the vine
Boars from the forest root around it all
Its fruit is ravaged by the hungry swine
Return to us O Lord with power divine
Look down from heaven on Your chosen vine

This vine once planted with Your own right hand
Now burns with fire Your people cry and moan
Let Your hand rest on those You cause to stand
Then we will call on Your great name alone
Restore us Lord Your saving power release
Make Your face shine on us and give us peace
