Tune: Buckland
('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')
John 10 v.7-14
********
Jesus, the door of the sheep
He His flock He still does keep
All that came before Him thieves
And robbers with their deceives
But the sheep did not them hear
The true Shepherd did they fear
Worshipped Him in humbleness
He did guard, protect them, bless
Jesus the door, if we do
By Him enter sheepfold true
We shall be saved, and shall find
Pasture, for He good and kind
Thieves do come not but to steal
Kill and destroy with ill-will
But Jesus true Shepherd He
Comes that life my to us be
That we may have life to full
Abundant, embracing all
Of his blessings, favours, grace
Help in troubles we may face
He the good Shepherd who gives
His life for the sheep, each lives
But hirelings do run away
When they see wolf come their way
For the hireling does not care
For the sheep, no welfare share
But good Shepherd knows His sheep
And they know Him, He them keeps

Thanks N.
Wow this delightfully makes me recall one of my poems entitled "Nothing-hands." I reference the sheep metaphor as well and that "good shepherd" that are pivotal for the flock's success. Amen to this message. ✍💖
Thanks R.
