Representative Text

1 Shepherd of Israel, patient and gentle,
Guarding thine own with tenderest care,
We, as thy flock, the sheep of thy pasture,
Come at thy call, thy bounty to share.

Refrain:
Patiently lead us, graciously feed us,
Seek for the one that goeth astray;
Ever attend us, shield and defend us,
Guard us by night, and keep us by day.

2 Shepherd of Israel, kindenst and truest,
In ev’ry hour of danger be nigh;
Temper the wind and speak to the tempest,
Out of the darkness answer our cry. [Refrain]

3 Shepherd of Israel, in thy compassion
Look upon us in mercy and love,
Till by thy hand we safely are gathered
Into the fold forever above. [Refrain]
