THE WANDERING SHEEP RESTORED.
“Glory be to God on high!”
Angels sing, and men reply;
The long lost sheep is found.
It stray'd abroad, ran far from God,
But now, restor'd by Jesu's blood,
Feeds on Emanuel's ground.
Angels sing, and men reply;
The long lost sheep is found.
It stray'd abroad, ran far from God,
But now, restor'd by Jesu's blood,
Feeds on Emanuel's ground.
There, in rich pastures led,
With carmel's flock is fed:
Drinks there the living stream,
That, in prophetic dream,
Once o'erflow'd prophetic souls;
And now, from the eternal rock,
In endless torrents rolls!
With carmel's flock is fed:
Drinks there the living stream,
That, in prophetic dream,
Once o'erflow'd prophetic souls;
And now, from the eternal rock,
In endless torrents rolls!
