LyicsYe little flock, whom Jesus feeds,
Dismiss your anxious cares;
Look to the shepherd of your souls,
And smile away your fears.
Tho' wolves and lions prowl around,
His staff is your defence;
'Midst sands and rocks, your shepherd's voice,
Call streams and pastures thence.
Your Father will a kingdom give,
And give it with delight;
His feeblest child his love shall call
To triumph in his sight.
Ten thousand praises, Lord, we bring
For sure supports like these:
And o'er the pious dead we sing
Thy living promises.
For all we hope and they enjoy,
We bless a Saviour's name;
Nor shall that stroke disturb the son,
Which breaks his mortal frame.
