"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."

[21]Krummacher.

transl., Jane Borthwick, 1854

Yes! our Shepherd leads with gentle hand,

Through the dark pilgrim-land,

His flock, so dearly bought,

So long and fondly sought.

Hallelujah!

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!
