[Murmuring in unison] Shine forth! Stir up thy strength!

The Elder

[Reading] Give ear, O Shepherd, come and save us.

Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou feedest them with the bread of tears,

And givest them tears to drink in great measure.

O God of hosts,

Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
