GOD! like lost sheep we have gone astray;

From out Thy book wipe not our name away.

Save! O save!

O God! sustain the sheep for slaughter;—see

These dealt with wrathfully and slain for Thee.

Save! O save!

O God! Thy sheep! the sheep whom Thou didst tend

In pasture; Thy creation and Thy friend.

Save! O save!

O God! the poor among the sheep! Take heed:

Answer in time of favor to their need.

Save! O save!
