Ye elders feed the flock
Committed to your care,
The solemn charge you now receive,
The voice of Jesus hear.
Let purest motives guide,
And sacred zeal enflame;
The oversight you freely take,
In your great Master’s name.
Dominion ne’er assume,
In lowly form appear;
The heritage alone is God’s,
And he’s the ruler there.
In doctrine and in word,
In purity and love,
Be ye examples to the flock,
While ye the truth approve.
The Shepherd soon will come,
To whom the sheep belong;
Oh may you then with joy appear,
Amidst the happy throng.
He Lord of all below,
His heritage will claim;
Will bless the steward, faithful found,
His honours loud proclaim.
He on his head shall place
A bright unfading crown,
And then before assembled worlds,
Will he his servant own.
