The Shepherd

How sweet is the Shepherd’s sweet lot!
   From the morn to the evening he stays;
   He shall follow his sheep all 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 watching while they are in peace,
   For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
