Text:Shepherd while thy flock is feeding
Tune:MARION

151. Shepherd while thy flock is feeding

1 Shepherd while thy flock is feeding,
Take these lambs in thine arms,
Now for shelter pleading.

2 While the storm of life is tow'ring
Night and day beasts of prey,
Lurking and devouring.

3 Shepherd, ev'ry grace combining,
Keep these lambs in thine arms,
On thy breast reclining.
