Shepherd Sufferings

orchidee



Tune: Passion Chorale

('O sacred head, sore wounded')

1 Peter 2 v.21-25

**********

Christ did in His suffering

Us an example bring

That we should his steps follow

He suffered, this we know

But did no sin, and neither

Was deceit found either

In His mouth, His words sinless

His mouth did speak to bless

 

Who when He was here reviled

Reviled not angry, wild

In return, and when suffered

No threatenings were heard

From Him, but He committed

Himself to Father's stead

He who judges righteously

All of humanity

 

Christ, He Himself our sin bore

In His own body sure

On the tree, the cross, that we

Being dead to sins, see

Should live unto righteousness

And too that we confess

By His stripes, wounds, we are healed

As He His life did yield

 

For you were as sheep going

Astray, lot in each thing

But are now returned unto

The Shepherd, Him you view

Shepherd, Bishop of your souls

Who does make each one whole

The Overseer, guardian

Safe we in Him, each one

        The aim of many causes the reviling and yet the wholeness is real.

            Peaceful and very reassuring, if only others would heed the words to not judge and be kind and giving, he would not have to go so far to gather his sheep.
