Religion

God, whose mercies never end,
Thy gracious promise keep.
Raise the Shepherd up, and send
To seek the wandering sheep,
A lost race to save and feed
When in one fold together join'd,
Join'd in spirit to our Head
The Shepherd of mankind.

The true heavenly David give,
The just and loving One,
After Thine own heart, to live.
And fix in us His throne:
When on every soul bestow'd.
He comes, and saves us from our sins,
Father, then Thou art our God,
And Jesus is our Prince.
