[The sheep with true simplicity]
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, &c.
—x. 27.
The sheep with true simplicity
Attend, and taste and keep Thy word,
They lead the life approved by Thee,
Follow their active suffering Lord,
Copy Thy life of love and pain,
And labour all Thy mind to gain.

They prove Thine acceptable will,
Thine image more and more put on,
Their vileness more and more they feel,
Their race assign'd with patience run,
Thy followers to the end endure,
And make their own election sure.
