|
<p>Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled<br>
|
|
Now Thy little lamb’s brief weeping;<br>
|
|
Ah, how peaceful, pale and mild,<br>
|
|
In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping,<br>
|
|
And no sigh of anguish sore<br>
|
|
Heaves that little bosom more.</p>
|
|
<p>In this world of care and pain,<br>
|
|
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;<br>
|
|
To the sunny, heavenly plain<br>
|
|
Thou dost now with joy receive it;<br>
|
|
Clothed in robes of spotless white,<br>
|
|
Now it dwells with Thee in light.</p>
|
|
<p>Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we<br>
|
|
Where it lives may soon be living,<br>
|
|
And the lovely pastures see<br>
|
|
That its heavenly food are giving;<br>
|
|
Then the gain of death we prove,<br>
|
|
Though Thou take what most we love.</p>
