Luk. 12.32. Fear not little Flock, &c
1 Thy Church is like a Flock of Sheep, Whose number is but small, Which thou thy self dost always keep, And wilt preserve them all.
1 THy Church is like a Flock of Sheep, Whose number is but small, Which thou thy self dost always keep, And wilt preserve them all.
2 Thy Saints, like Sheep, are innocent, Most harmless, also meek; If any of them go astray, 'Tis thou who dost them seek.
3 Thou also dost them feed and lead In Pastures flourishing, ⟨p. 288⟩And hast for them a resting place, Besides the Water spring.
