Author: Guillaume de la Brunetière; Francis Pott Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6168 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. The Shepherd now was smitten; The wolf was ravening near; The scattered flock he threatened, But knew not whose they were. 2. In zealous fury seeking To bind and crucify, A sudden voice withheld him, A loud and startling cry: 3. Saul! Saul! why blindly daring To persecute thy Lord? ’Tis Jesus whom thou hatest, Rebel not at My Word. 4. Then forth in prayer he stretcheth Those hands prepared to slay; What wouldst Thou with Thy servant? My Lord and Master, say. 5. Christ’s foe becomes His soldier, The wolf destroys no more, A gentle lamb he enters The sheepfold by the door. 6. O voice of God Almighty, What wonders hath it wrought! It rends the lofty cedars, It bends the haughty thought. 7. Jesu, our Shepherd, cease not Thy flock from harm to free, And, when Thy sheep are wandering, O lead them back to Thee. 8. To Father, Son, and Spirit, All glory, praise and might, Who called us out of darkness To His own glorious light. Languages: English Tune Title: VULPIUS

Melchior Vulpius

1570 - 1615 Composer of "VULPIUS" in The Cyber Hymnal Born into a poor family named Fuchs, Melchior Vulpius (b. Wasungen, Henneberg, Germany, c. 1570; d. Weimar, Germany, 1615) had only limited educational opportunities and did not attend the university. He taught Latin in the school in Schleusingen, where he Latinized his surname, and from 1596 until his death served as a Lutheran cantor and teacher in Weimar. A distinguished composer, Vulpius wrote a St. Matthew Passion (1613), nearly two hundred motets in German and Latin, and over four hundred hymn tunes, many of which became popular in Lutheran churches, and some of which introduced the lively Italian balletto rhythms into the German hymn tunes. His music was published in Cantiones Sacrae (1602, 1604), Kirchengesangund Geistliche Lieder (1604, enlarged as Ein schon geistlich Gesanglmch, 1609), and posthumously in Cantionale Sacrum (1646).
