Here you will find thePoemShepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieveof poet Augustus Montague Toplady
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. Thy Holy Spirit's praying grace Give us in faith to claim; To wrestle till we see Thy face, And know Thy hidden name. 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, - I died for thee. Then let me, on the mountain-top, Behold Thine open face, Till faith in sight is swallowed up, And prayer in endless praise.
