Restoration Prayers
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Give ear, Shepherd of Israel,
You who led Joseph like a flock;
You who are enthroned on the hill,
The cherubim shines where you walk.
Stir up Your might before Ephraim,
Come save us before Benjamin;
Glory and honor we proclaim,
By all of your men and women.
Restore us, O God as to save,
Letting Your face shine upon us;
So sin will no longer enslave,
These temptations to cause as thus.
O Lord of the Heavenly Host,
How long will You remain angry;
My plea You send Your Holy Ghost,
Please send us Him by Your decree.
Cleanse our hearts for as we pray,
Being fed with a bread of tears;
Given tears to drink as we say,
In full measure from our fears.
We are a source of contention,
As a strife to our neighbors;
Our foes are causing tension,
Mocking us of our labors.
O God of Hosts, let Your face shine,
Restore us that we may be saved;
Hear us O Lord, Holy Divine,
Free us, no longer be enslaved.
