Lyics

CHIEF Shepherd of thy chosen sheep,

From death and sin set free--

May ev'ry under shepherd keep

His eye intent on thee.



With plenteous grace their hearts prepare

To publish thy good will;

And every good with them we'll share,

And thus thy law fulfil.



Inflame their souls with holy zeal,

Their flocks to teach and feed,

and may these cherished flocks in turn

Supply their every need.
