Shepherd divine, our wants relieve,

1.

Shepherd divine, our wants relieve,

In this our evil day;

To all Thy tempted followers give

The power to watch and pray.

2.

Long as our fiery trials last,

Long as the cross we bear,

O let our souls on Thee be cast,

In never-ceasing prayer.

3.

Spirit of interceding grace

Give us faith to claim;

To wrestle till we see Thy face,

And know Thy hidden name.

4.

Till Thou Thy perfect love impart,

Till Thou Thyself bestow,

Be this the cry of every heart, —

I will not let Thee go.

5.

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.

6.

Then let me, on the mountain-top,

Behold Thy open face,

Where faith in sight is swallowed up,

And pray’r in endless praise.
