God of Hosts, look down from Heaven,
See and have regard for this vine;
The stock that you planted be given,
Be fruitful as your cherished wine.
For the son whom You have made strong,
They have burned it in the fire;
May they perish for doing wrong,
For their mischievous desire.
They have rebuked You in Your face,
Rebuking of Your countenance;
Since they have caused such a disgrace,
It has caused a righteous offense.
Let me be the one on Your right,
The Son of man You have made strong;
That You look upon with delight,
And where I righteously belong.
I promise never to turn back,
Since I have called upon Your name;
And giving me the life I lack,
As I continue to proclaim.
Turn us again O Lord of Host,
Let Your face shine so we are saved;
Purify through the Holy Ghost,
To sinning no longer enslaved.
