SHEEP AND LAMBS.
All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad,
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road.
April airs were abroad,
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road.
The sheep with their little lambs
Passed me by on the road;
All in the April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
Passed me by on the road;
All in the April evening
I thought on the Lamb of God.
The lambs were weary, and crying
With a weak, human cry.
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.
With a weak, human cry.
I thought on the Lamb of God
Going meekly to die.
Up in the blue, blue mountains
Dewy pastures are sweet
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet
Dewy pastures are sweet
Rest for the little bodies,
Rest for the little feet
7
But for the Lamb of God,
Up on the hill-top green,
Only a Cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.
Up on the hill-top green,
Only a Cross of shame
Two stark crosses between.
All in the April evening,
April airs were abroad,
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
And thought on the Lamb of God.
April airs were abroad,
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
And thought on the Lamb of God.
