[Every shepherd under Thee]

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou, &c. —xxi. 18.

Every shepherd under Thee
His love by suffering shows,
Honour, ease, and liberty,
And life itself foregoes;
Life he carries in his hand,
All for Thee accounts but loss,
Ready still at Thy command
To die upon Thy cross.
