Oh bless the Lord, our souls,
Our shepherd and our head;
Though in a weary barren land,
We still are richly fed.
He under-shepherds gives,
His little flock to guide;
And by his faithful tender care,
Will constant food provide.
Then may they watch for souls,
And see when danger’s near,
That they a true account may give,
When Jesus shall appear.
In tenderness and love,
Let them their charge fulfil,
Examples be to all the flock,
And teach them all thy will.
With such a shepherd. Lord,
Oh may we now be blessed;
Be sweetly fed and nourished here,
And in thy pasture rest.
