THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
"I will feed My sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, with the Lord God."--Ezek. 24:15.
"Ja fuehrwahr! uns fuehrt mit sanften Hand
Ein Hirt durch Pilger-land."
Krummacher.

| Yes! our Shepherd leads with gentle hand, Through the dark pilgrim-land, His flock, so dearly bought, So long and fondly sought. Hallelujah! | | 50 When in clouds and mist the weak ones stray, He shows again the way, And points to them afar A bright and guiding star. Hallelujah! | | Tenderly He watches from on high With an unwearied eye; He comforts and sustains, In all their fears and pains, Hallelujah! | | Through the parch'd, dreary desert He will guide To the green fountain-side, Through the dark, stormy night, To a calm land of light. Hallelujah! | | Yes! His "little flock" are ne'er forgot; His mercy changes not: Our home is safe above, Within His arms oflove. Hallelujah! | |
