[The sheep with meek docility]

Ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, &c. —x. 26.

The sheep with meek docility
Expect the Shepherd's voice to hear,
Jesus by faith they cleave to Thee;
Obedience is their character,
Obedience doth their faith approve,
And tender fear, and humble love.
Saviour, on me the faith bestow
Which joins a sinner to the sheep:
And when Thy pardoning voice I know,
To Thee and Thine united keep,
Till in that awful day I stand,
Among the sheep at Thy right hand.
