The Good Shepherd

By Albert Midlane

 

 

 

 

A Shepherd Jesus is, so kind,

And all God’s sheep are His,

And by His power He guideth them

To everlasting bliss.

 

He leadeth them, He feedeth them;

Beneath His eye they rest;

He spareth them, He beareth them,

And they are all so blest!

 

Large as the flock of Jesus is,

His power is greater far;

And every lamb amidst the flock

Shall know His tender care.

 

No eye but His could e’er survey

A flock so large, so vast!

No heart but His could seek and find,

And love them to the last.

 

No arm but His could them defend

From dangers all around,

And lead them to the pastures green,

Where living streams abound.
