EN 1992 O Shepherd of the Sheep

Prov.10.7

Versi Version 1

1

O Shepherd of the sheep,

High Priest of things to come,

Who didst in grace Thy servant keep,

And take him safely home;

2

Accept our song of praise

For all his holy care,

His zeal unquenched through length of days,

The trials that he bare.

3

Chief of Thy faithful band,

He held himself the least,

Though Thy dread keys were in his hand,

O everlasting Priest.

4

So, trusting in Thy might,

He won a fair renown;

So, waxing valiant in the fight,

He trod the lion down.

5

Then rendered up to Thee

The charge Thy love had given,

And passed away Thy face to see

Revealed in highest Heav’n.

6

On all our bishops pour

The Spirit of Thy grace;

That, as he won the palm of yore,

So they may run their race.

7

That, when this life is done,

They may with him adore

The ever blessed Three in One,

In bliss forevermore.
