To praise our Shepherd's care
1
To praise our Shepherd's care,His wisdom, love, and might,Your loudest, loftiest songs prepare,And bid the world unite.
2
Supremely good and great,He tends his bloodbought fold;He stoops, though throned in highest state,The feeblest to uphold.
3
He hears the least complaint;He sees them when they roam;And if his weakest lamb should faint,His bosom bears it home.
4
Kind Shepherd of the sheep,A weakly flock are we,And snares and foes are nigh; but keepThe lambs who look to thee.
