Shepherd of the Flock

Samuel Wolcott • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:7

Verse 1

Tell me, whom my soul doth love, Where Thy flock are feeding; Where the pastures which they rove— Thou their footsteps leading?

Verse 2

Tell me, sheltered from the heat, Where at noon they rest them; Where at night their safe retreat— Fold, where none molest them?

Verse 3

Strong is Thy protecting arm; Richly Thou providest; Feeding, resting—kept from harm— Blest the flock Thou guidest.

Verse 4

Noon and night be my defence; Let no foe ensnare me; Bring me to the Shepherd’s tents— In Thy bosom bear me.
