1 Thou art a Shepherd, and thy Sheep Are all most dearly bought; Most safely thou wilt them all keep, The lost ones shall be sought.
1 THou art a Shepherd, and thy Sheep Are all most dearly bought; Most safely thou wilt them all keep, The lost ones shall be sought.
2 Into green Pastures we are led, Most blessed Lord, by thee; And there are we most choicely fed, Well watered also be.
2 Into green Pastures we are led, Most blessed Lord, by thee; And there are we most choicely fed, Well water'd also be.
3 Thy Sheep to purchase thou didst die, What Shepherd was so good? None never loved his Sheep so, To buy them with his Blood.
4 A Fold, and a sweet resting-place Thou dost also provide, To shadow us from scorching heat, And to refresh our mind.
