Text: | Watching with the Shepherd |
Author: | E. S. L. |
Tune: | [Safe within the fold] |
Composer: | E. S. Lorenz |
1 Safe within the fold, we have employment blest,
Watching with the Shepherd, watching with the Shepherd;
Helping with the weak ones who are oft distrest,
Watching with the Shepherd o’er the flock.
Refrain:
We will watch with the Shepherd o’er the flock,
Tho’ the world round about us scorn and mock;
‘Tis an endless joy, it is a blest employ,
Watching with the Shepherd o’er the flock.
2 We can bring unto the Shepherd halt and blind,
Watching with the Shepherd, watching with the Shepherd;
Waiting while his tender hands their wounds shall bind,
Watching with the Shepherd o’er the flock. [Refrain]
3 Seeking those who stray afar, we bring them back,
Watching with the Shepherd, watching with the Shepherd;
Heedless ones we often warn when foes attack,
Watching with the Shepherd o’er the flock. [Refrain]
4 On our heads his hand of blessing oft he lays,
Watching with the Shepherd, watching with the Shepherd;
And our hearts break forth in rapture, love and praise,
Watching with the Shepherd o’er the flock. [Refrain]
