EN 4616 The Shepherd Now Was Smitten
Acts.9.4
Versi Version 1
1
The Shepherd now was smitten;
The wolf was ravening near;
The scattered flock he threatened,
But knew not Whose they were.
2
In zealous fury seeking
To bind and crucify,
A sudden voice withheld him,
A loud and startling cry:
3
“Saul! Saul! why blindly daring
To persecute thy Lord?
’Tis Jesus Whom thou hatest,
Rebel not at My Word.”
4
Then forth in prayer he stretcheth
Those hands prepared to slay;
“What wouldst Thou with Thy servant?
My Lord and Master, say.”
5
Christ’s foe becomes His soldier,
The wolf destroys no more,
A gentle lamb he enters
The sheepfold by the door.
6
O voice of God Almighty,
What wonders hath it wrought!
It rends the lofty cedars,
It bends the haughty thought.
7
Jesu, our Shepherd, cease not
Thy flock from harm to free,
And, when Thy sheep are wandering,
O lead them back to Thee.
8
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
All glory, praise and might,
Who called us out of darkness
To His own glorious light.
