Earth’s greatest honors, howsoe’er they please us, compared to this are vain and empty chaff. Yea, what this world can never give, may, through the Shepherd’s grace, each needy sheep receive. 2 Here is a pasture, rich and never failing, here living waters in abundance flow; none can conceive the grace with them prevailing, who Jesus’ shepherd-voice obey and know. He banishes all fear and strife, and leads them gently on to everlasting life. 3 Whoe’er would spend his days in lasting pleasure must come to Christ and join his flock with speed; here is a feast prepared, rich beyond measure, the world meanwhile on empty husks must feed. Those souls may share in ev'ry good whose Shepherd does possess the treasuries of God.

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 First Line: Wild and lone the prophet's voice Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice echoes through the desert still, calling us to make a choice, bidding us to do God's will: "Turn from sin and be baptized; cleanse your heart and mind and soul. Quitting all the sins you prized, yield your life to God's control. 2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows: lives of justice, truth, and love. Trust no other claim than those; set your heart on things above. Soon the Lord will come in power, burning clean the threshing floor: then will flames the chaff devour; wheat alone shall fill God's store." 3 With such preaching, stark and bold, John proclaimed salvation near, and his timeless warnings hold words of hope to all who hear. So we dare to journey on, led by faith through ways untrod, till we come at last like John to behold the Lamb of God.
