Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve

 

VERSE 1

Shepherd divine, our wants relieve

In this our evil day,

To all Thy tempted followers give

The power to watch and pray.

 

VERSE 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!

 

VERSE 3

The Spirit of interceding grace

Give us in faith to claim;

To wrestle till we see Thy face,

And know Thy hidden Name.

 

VERSE 4

Till thou Thy perfect love impart,

Till thou thyself bestow,

Be this the cry of every heart,

“I will not let Thee go:

 

VERSE 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:

 

VERSE 6

 “Then let me on the mountain top

Behold Thy open face,

Where faith in sight is swallowed up,

And prayer in endless praise.”
