Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead
Thy flock the desert thro',
And from between the Cherubim
Thy beaming mercy show.
And tho' their sins provok'd thee oft
To give them for a prey.
Yet didst thou for thy mercies sake
Oft turn thy wrath away.
But now for ages they have been
Far banished from thy sight,
Wand'ring thro' all the earth, as those
In whom is no delight.
Yet is thy word of promise sure,
That they shall be restored.
And with the Gentile church unite
To love and serve the Lord.
Our faith in expectation waits
With ever longing eyes;
Oh, bid the shadows flee away—
That glorious morning rise.
