[ 1] GReat Shepherd of good Jacob's Race,
And Joseph's wond'rous Guide, give ear:
Thou sitt'st between the Cherubins,
Thence gloriously for us appear.
[ 2] Ephr'aim, with th' other Tribes once saw
Thy Conquests in the wilderness:
Now shew thy self, that they may know
Thy saving Pow'r is still no less.
[ 3] Oh make an happy change, and us
Unto thy favour, Lord, restore:

For if our God be reconcil'd,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more.
[ 4] Great God! how long wilt thou reject
Our pray'rs, when we thy help intreat?
[ 5] Whilst we large draughts of tears drink down,
Tears that are mingled with our meat.
[ 6] Our foes, agreeing in our harm,
Strive only who shall spoil us most;
Laugh at our trust in God, too weak
They think, t'oppose the pow'rs they boast,
[ 7] Oh change our State, and us again
Unto thy favour, Lord, restore;
For if our God be reconcil'd,
We shall be sav'd and sigh no more.
