Text Based On Romans Chapter 11
I say then, Hath God cast away his people?
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of
the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
O Thou Who The Shepherd of Israel Art
Thou Who the Shepherd of Israel art,
Give ear to our prayer and Thy favour impart;
Thou Leader of Joseph, Thou Guide of his way,
Mid cherubim dwelling, Thy glory display.
In Ephraim's, Manasseh's and Benjamin's sight,
O come Thou and save us; awake in Thy might.
O God, give us favour, restore to Thy grace;
And then we shall live in the light of Thy face.
From Egypt's dark border a vine Thou didst take;
Destroying the heathen didst room for it make.
Where planted it grew at Thy sovreign command,
With roots deeply set and boughs filling the land.
The axe hews it down; it is burned in the fire;
They perish, rebuked in Thy terrible ire.
O lay then Thy hand on the Man of Thy might,
The Son of Man made to stand strong in Thy sight.
No more shall we wander, delighting in shame;
Revive us, O Lord, we will call on Thy Name.
O Lord God of Hosts, us restore to Thy grace,
And then we shall live in the light of Thy face.
