Great shepherd of thy people hear

1.

Great shepherd of thy people hear

Thy presence now display,

As Thou hast giv’n a place for pray’r

So give us hearts to pray.

2.

Show us some token of thy love

Our fainting hope to raise,

And pour thy blessing from above

That we may render praise.

3.

Within this walls let holy peace

And love and concord dwell,

Here give the trouble conscience ease

The wounded spirits heal

4.

The hearing ear, the seeing eye,

The contrite heart bestow:

And shine upon us from on high

That we in grace may grow.

5.

May we in faith receive Thy word,

In faith address our pray’rs,

And in the presence of our Lord

Unburden all our cares.
