[Feeding their sheep they found the Lamb of God]
Feeding their sheep they found the Lamb of God;
The Lamb without a blemish or a stain;
The altar-Lamb, the Lamb of sacrifice,
The Lamb from everlasting ages slain.
The Lamb without a blemish or a stain;
The altar-Lamb, the Lamb of sacrifice,
The Lamb from everlasting ages slain.
Feeding their sheep they found the Shepherd good
Who gave His life a ransom for the sheep;
The Shepherd who, in love, His scattered flock
Came down from Heaven to gather and to keep.
Who gave His life a ransom for the sheep;
The Shepherd who, in love, His scattered flock
Came down from Heaven to gather and to keep.
Feeding their sheep they found the fold of Heaven,
Which whoso enters shall go out no more;
The living water there, the pastures green,
The soft fresh air of the celestial shore.
Which whoso enters shall go out no more;
The living water there, the pastures green,
The soft fresh air of the celestial shore.
