Shepherd divine, our wants relieve

Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted followers give
The power to trust 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.

Till thou the Father's 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 say, 'Christ died for thee.'"
