Oh, Shepherd of Your people,
lead us in Your flock.
Oh, God enthroned on cherubim,
stir Your strength and save us.
Restore us, oh, God
and shine on us with Your glory.
Return to us, oh, LORD of Hosts.
Regard us as the vine You set.
With Your right hand, You planted us
and made strong Your branch –
Your Son.
Let Your hand again
be on the Son of Man,
Whom You have made strong in us.
Then we shall not depart from You.
Give us life,
and we shall remain with You.
Revive us to call on Your Name.
Restore us, oh LORD – God
of the armies of Heaven,
and in Your shine, we shall be
saved.
