164. O Lord, Our Lord

1 O Thou great almighty Lord,
Everlasting gracious Lord,
By the saints of old adored,
Rev’rently by saints adored,
Unto Thee with joy we raise,
Constantly with joy we raise,
Our united, grateful praise,
Unto Thee our grateful praise.

Refrain:
Unto Thee praise shall be;
King divine, we are Thine.
Hear our prayer, hear our prayer,
World without end.

2 We, like sheep, have gone astray,
From Thy care have gone astray.
We have wandered far away,
In the desert far away,
In distress to Thee we cry,
Night and day to Thee we cry:
Save us, Shepherd, or we die,
Seek and save us, or we die! [Refrain]
