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.
Thy voice let's hear, and follow thee, A Stranger's voice let's know; •nd them forsake, the right way take, Where the old Flock did go.
And to our Shepherd we will sing, When we thy Mark can see •n us is set, from thence will spring Joy to eternity.
