405. Qhepherd Divine, our wants relieve

Qhepherd Divine, our wants relieve,

O In this our evil day:

To all Thy tempted followers give

The power to watch and pray.

Long as our fiery trials last,

Long as the cross we bear,

O let our souls on Thee be cast

In never-ceasing prayer.

The Spirit of interceding grace

Give us in faith to claim;

To wrestle till we see Thy Face,

And know Thy hidden Name.

Till Thou Thy perfect love impart,

Till Thou Thyself bestow,

Be this the cry of every heart,

" I will not let Thee go:

"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.

u Then let me on the mountain-top

Behold Thy open Face;

Where faith in sight is swallowed up,

And prayer in endless praise."
