O lift us up, strong Son of God;
Restore our fallen race;
We who have marred your image shall
Regain it through your grace.
The subtle serpent of our sin
Ensnared our helpless feet;
The lifted serpent of your health
Can make our souls complete.
And you, who came into the world
To take our human frame,
Did not condemn our fallen state,
But took away our shame.
Your law is holy, just and good;
But still we fail to do
All that your gracious words require
To keep us close to you.
So lift us up, strong Son of God,
Restore your fallen race;
We who have lost your image shall
Regain it through your grace.
