HYMN 85. Go thy ways forth by the Footsteps of the Flock.
1
O thou my fairest One!Thus my dear Lord doth speak,
If thou wouldst know what thou must do,
And with my Saints partake;
2
Go up to yonder Mount,Thence look, and thou shalt 'spy,
Clear as the Sun, what must be done,
Presented to thine Eye?
3
Seest thou that Folded Flock,Whose Heart the Spirit tyes;
Whom Gospel-Order calls into
Distinct Societies?
4
Seest thou the Pastures whereThey do together Feed;
The Shepheard stands with both his Hands
To give them all they Need?
5
Their Magna-Charta isMy Word; that is thy Guide;
O follow them that follow Me,
And thy Foot ne'er shall slide!
6
Thither I'll go, and join,There will I Feast and Feed;
There will I sing my Shepheard's Praise,
Who doth supply my Need!
