Hymn 5.
[Shepherd Divine, our want relieve]
Shepherd Divine, our want relieve
In this our evil day,
To all Thy tempted followers give
The power to watch and pray.
In this our evil day,
To all Thy tempted followers give
The power to watch and pray.
177
Long as our fiery trials last,
Long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on Thee be cast
In never ceasing prayer.
Long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on Thee be cast
In never ceasing prayer.
The Spirit of interceding grace
Give us in faith to claim,
To wrestle, till we see Thy face,
And know Thy hidden name.
Give us in faith to claim,
To wrestle, till we see Thy face,
And know Thy hidden name.
Till Thou the perfect love impart,
Till Thou Thyself bestow,
Be this the cry of every heart,
I will not let Thee go.
Till Thou Thyself bestow,
Be this the cry of every heart,
I will not let Thee go.
I will not let Thee go, unless
Thou tell Thy name to me,
With all Thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like Thee.
Thou tell Thy name to me,
With all Thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like Thee.
Then let me on the mountain top
Behold Thine open face,
While faith in sight is swallow'd up,
And prayer in endless praise.
Behold Thine open face,
While faith in sight is swallow'd up,
And prayer in endless praise.
