His flock the heavenly Shepherd feeds,
By purling streams in flowery meads;
He guards them both by night and day,
And guides them lest they go astray.
Or if by Satan’s wiles mis-led,
They in forbidden paths should tread,
He timely warns them of their sin,
And turns their wandering feet again.
In danger he is always nigh,
No evil can escape his eye;
He calls his sheep, he knows their names,
And gently leads the tender lambs.
Beneath the shadow of a rock,
From scorching suns he screens his flock;
And should the prowling wolf appear,
They still are safe, for Christ is there.
