[Smitten the Shepherd was]
Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep, &c.
—xiii. 7.
Smitten the Shepherd was,
Dispersed the frighted sheep:
But gather'd now beneath His cross
He doth His people keep;
From Him, whose hand doth hold,
We shall no more be driven,
For when His bosom is our fold,
We rest secure in heaven.
