Thou Shepherd That Dost Israel Keep
Psalm 80
Dwight Armstrong

Thou Shepherd that dost Israel keep, Give ear in time of need;
Who leadest like a flock of sheep Thy loved one, Joseph's seed.
That sit'st between the Cherubs bright, Between their wings out-spread;
Shine forth, and from Thy cloud give light, And on our foes Thy dread.

In Ephraim's and in Benjamin's view, And in Manassah's sight,
Awake thy strength, come, and be seen To save us by Thy might.
Turn us again; thy grace divine To us, O God, vouchsafe;
Cause Thou, Thy face on us to shine, For then we shall be safe.

Lord God of Hosts, how long wilt Thou, How long wilt thou declare
Thy smoking wrath, and angry brow, Against thy people's prayer?
Return to us Thy grace divine, O God of Hosts vouchsafe;
Cause Thou, Thy face on us to shine, For then we shall be safe.
