O Israel's Shepherd, Joseph's Guide

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXX (1767) Lyrics: 1 O Israels Shepherd, Joseph's Guide, Our Pray'rs to thee vouchsafe to hear! Thou that dost on the Cherubs ride, Again in solemn State appear: Ev'n thou that dost thy People keep, And lead'st them like a Flock of Sheep. 2 Behold, how Benjamin expects, With Ephraim and Manasseh join'd, In our Deliv'rance, the Effects Of thy resistless Strength to find. Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display, And all our Grief shall pass away. 3 O thou, whom heav'nly Hosts obey! How long shall thy fierce Anger burn? How long thy suff'ring People pray, And to their Pray'rs have no Return? Thou mak'st to eat the Bread of Woe, And drink of Fears that largely flow. 4 For us the Heathen Nations round, As for a common Prey contest; Our Foes with spiteful Joy abound, And at our lost Condition jest: Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display, And all our Grief shall pass away. Part II 5 Thou brought'st a Vine from Egypt's Land; And, casting out the Heathen Race, Did'st plant it with thine own Right-Hand, And firmly fix'd it in their Place. Thou mad'st it take a lasting Root, And o'er all the Land its Branches shoot. 6 The Hills were cover'd with its Shade, Its goodly Boughs did Cedars seem, Its Branches to the Sea were spread, And reach'd to proud Euphrates Stream. Thus Earth and Sea were covered o'er, With the thick Foliage which it bore. 7 Why then, hast thou, its Hedge o'erthrown, Which thou had'st made so firm and strong, Whilst all its Grapes, defenceless grown, Are pluck'd by those that pass along; It's Fruit the savage Monsters claim, And wild Boars root up the same. Part III 8 To thee, O God of Hosts, we pray; Thy wonted Goodness, LORD, renew, From Heav'n thy Throne, this Vine survey, And her sad State in Pity view. Preserve the Branch thou mad'st so strong, The place thy Hand did guard so long. 9 To wasting Flames 'tis made a Prey, And all its spreading Boughs cut down; At thy Rebuke they soon decay, And perish at thy dreadful Frown. Crown thou the King with good Success, By thy right Hand secur'd from Wrong: The Son of Man in Mercy bless. 18 So shall we still continue free From whatsoe'er deserves thy Blame; And if once more reviv'd by thee, Will always praise thy holy Name. Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display And all our Grief shall pass away.

O Isr'l's Shepherd, Joseph's Guide

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LXXX (1760) Lyrics: 1 O Isr'els Shepherd, Joseph's Guide, Our Pray'rs to thee vouchsafe to hear; Thou that do'st on the Cherubs ride, Again in solemn State appear. 2 Behold how Benjamin expects, With Ephraim and Manasseh join'd, In our Deliv'rance, the Effects Of thy resistless Strength to find. 3 Do thou convert us, Lord, do Thou The Lustre of thy Face display; And all the Ills we suffer now, Like scatter'd Clouds shall pass away. 4 O thou, whom heav'nly Hosts obey, How long shall thy fierce Anger burn? How long thy suff'ring People pray, And to their Pray'rs have no Return? 5 When hungry, we are fotc'd to drench Our scanty Food in Floods of Woe; When dry, our raging Thirst we quench With Streams of Tears that largely flow. 6 For us the heathen Nations round, As for a common Prey, contest: Our Foes with spiteful Joy abound, And at our lost Condition jest. 7 Do thou convert us, Lord, do Thou The Lustre of thy Face display, And all the Ills we suffer now, Like scatter'd Clouds shall pass away. Part II 8 Thou brought'st a Vine from Egypt's Land; And casting out the heathen Race, Didst plant it with thine own right Hand, and firmly fix'd it in their Place. 9 Before it Thou prepar'dst the Way, and mad'st it take a lasting Root, Which, bless'd with thy indulgent Ray, O'er all the Land did widely shoot. 10,11 The Hills were cover'd with its Shade, its goodly Boughs did Cedars seem: Its Branches to the Sea were spread, And reach'd to proud Euphrates Stream. 12 Why then hast thou its Hedge o'erthrown, Which Thou hadst made so firm and strong? Whilst all its Grapes, defenceless grown, Are pluck'd by those that pass along. 13 See how the bristling forest Boar With dreadful Fury lays it waste: Hark! how the savage Monsters roar, And to their helpless Prey make haste. Part III 14 To Thee, O God of Hosts, we pray; Thy wonted Goodness, Lord, renew: From Heav'n thy Throne this Vine survey, And her sad State with Pity view. 15 Behold the Vineyard, made by Thee, Which thy right Hand did guard so long; And keep that Branch from Danger free, Which for thyself thou mad'st so strong. 16 To wasting Flames 'tis made a Prey, And all its spreading Boughs cut down; At thy Rebuke they soon decay, And perish at thy dreadful Frown. 17 Crown thou the King with good Success, By thy right Hand secur'd from Wrong: The Son of Man in Mercy bless, Whom for thyself Thou mad'st so strong. 18 So shall we still continue free From whatsoe'er deserves thy Blame; And if once more reviv'd by Thee, Will always praise thy holy Name. 19 Do Thou convert us, Lord, do Thou The Lustre of thy Face display, And all the Ills we suffer now, Like scatter'd Clouds shall pass away.

Nahum Tate

1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "O Isr'l's Shepherd, Joseph's guide" in A Selection of Psalms and Hymns for ... Diocese of Nova Scotia. 3rd ed. Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715. --The Hymnal 1940 Companion See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church
