Sheep Shepherded

Tune: Herongate

('It is a thing most wonderful')

1 Peter 2 v.21-25

***************

Christ suffered for us, example

Of His life He left unto all

That we should in His steps follow

And as we grow more of Him know

Who did no sin, neither was guile

Found in His mouth, there no defile

Who, when He as reviled did not

Make reviling His returned lot

When He suffered, did not threaten

Though suffered at the hands of men

But committed Himself unto

He that judges righteous, God true

In His own self, In His body

He bare the sins of you and me

On the cross, that we being dead

To sins, should follow Him our Head

Living now unto righteousness

By His wounds we healed, we confess

As sheep ging astray were we

Now Christ our Shepherd, Bishop* be (*Overseer)
