Great Shepherd of thine Israel
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80 Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of thine Israel,
Who didst between the cherubs dwell,
And lead the tribes thy chosen sheep:
Safe thro' the desert and the deep;
2 Thy church is in the desert Lord,
Shine from on high, and light afford;
Turn us to thee, thy love restore,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more.
3 Great God, whom heav’nly hosts obey,
How long shall we lament and pray?
And wait in vain thy kind return?
How long shall thy fierce anger burn?
4 Instead of wine and cheerful bread,
Thy saints with their own tears are fed:
Turn us to thee, thy love restore,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more.
5 Hast thou not planted with thy hands
A lovely vine in heathen lands?
Did not thy pow'r defend it round,
And heav’nly dews enrich the ground?
6 How did the spreading branches shoot,
And bless the nations with the fruit;
But now, dear Lord, look down and see
Thy mourning vine, that lovely tree.
7 Why is her beauty thus defac'd,
Why hast thou laid her fences waste?
Strangers and foes against her join,
And ev'ry beast devours the vine.
8 Return, almighty God, return;
Nor let thy bleeding vineyard mourn;
Turn us to thee, thy love restore,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more.
9 Lord, when this vine in Canaan grew,
Thou wast its strength and glory too;
Attack'd in vain by all its foes,
Till the fair Branch of promise rose.
10 Fair Branch, ordain'd of old to shoot
From David’s stock, from Jacob’s root;
Himself a noble Vine, and we
The lesser branches of the tree:
11 ’Tis thy own Son; and he shall stand
Girt with thy strength at thy right hand;
Thy first-born Son, adorn'd and blest
With pow'r and grace above the rest.
12 Oh! for his sake attend our cry,
Shine on thy churches lest they die;
Turn us to thee, thy love restore,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more. Topics: The Church's Prayer under Affliction

Great Shepherd Who Leadest Thy People
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80 First Line: Great shepherd who leadest thy people in love Lyrics: 1 Great shepherd who leadest thy people in love,
'mid cherubim dwelling, shine thou from above;
in might come and save us, thy people restore,
and we shall be saved when thy face shines once more.
2 O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes,
affliction our portion, despised by our foes.
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,
and we shall be saved when thy face shines once more.
3 A place for thy people thou, Lord, didst prepare,
thy vine deeply rooted rewarded thy care;
its branches, like cedars, majestic and free,
spread over the mountains from river to sea.
4 Thy vineyard no longer thy tender care knows,
defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes;
O turn, we beseech thee, all glory is thine,
look down in thy mercy and visit thy vine.
5 The branch of thy planting is burned and cut down,
brought nigh to destruction because of thy frown;
the man of thy right hand with wisdom endue,
the son of man strengthen thy pleasure to do.
6 When thou shalt revive us, thy name we will praise,
and nevermore, turning, depart from thy ways;
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,
and we shall be saved when thy face shines once more. Topics: God As Shepherd; Grace; Israel; Wrath Of God Used With Tune: CARITAS Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

God of hosts, you chose a vine
Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80:8-12 Lyrics: 1 God of hosts, you chose a vine
meant to bear the finest wine,
set it in a promised land,
nurtured by your careful hand.
2 Like a cedar, it grew strong-
deep its roots, its tendrils long;
yet, in envy those around
stripped its branches to the ground.
3 Desolate, to God we cry:
"Spare us from the enemy!"
God of hosts, turn back again,
all such wickedness restrain.
4 Turn us too, for we have failed,
faithfulness has not prevailed;
visit, Lord, and heal your vine,
on its fruit let glory shine! Topics: Discouragement / Despair; Lament; Land; Metrical Psalms; Repentance; Wine Used With Tune: ST. BEES

On Your people pour Your pow'r;
Crown Your ancient Church’s story;
Bring its bud to glorious flow'r.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn the Christ, assail His ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure Your children’s warring madness;
Bend our pride to Your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
Lest we miss Your kingdom’s goal,
Lest we miss Your kingdom’s goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the gift of Your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
Serving You whom we adore,
Serving You whom we adore.
