O 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!
