8.7.8.7 [1291]Evening Prayer (Stainer): John Stainer, 1898 William A. Mühlenberg, 1826 Savior, who thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs thy bosom share: Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in thy gracious arm; There we know, thy word believing, Only there secure from harm. Never from thy pasture roving Let them be the lion's prey; Let thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them all life's dangerous way. Then, within thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting-place; Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of thy grace. Amen. |
