How sweet is the shepherd’s lot! From the morn to the evening he strays;
He shall follow his sheep all of the day, and his tongue shall be filled with praise.
For he hears the lambs’ innocent call, and he hears the ewes’ tender reply;
He is watchful while they are in peace, for they know when their shepherd is nigh.
Think not you can sigh a sigh, and your Maker is not by:
Think not you can weep a tear, and your Maker is not near.
He gave His joy to all: He became an infant small,
He became a man of sorrow.
O, He gives us His joy, that our grief He may destroy:
Till our grief is fled and gone.
