Shepherd Of Souls, With Pitying Eye
The Thousands Of Our Israel See:
To Thee, In Their Behalf We Cry,
Ourselves But Newly Found In Thee.
See, Where Over Desert Wastes They Err,
And Neither Food Nor Feeder Have,
Nor Fold, Nor Place Of Refuge Near;
For No Man Cares Their Souls To Save.
Thy People, Lord, Are Sold For Naught,
Nor Know They Their Redeemer Nigh;
They Perish, Whom Thyself Hast Bought;
Their Souls For Lack Of Knowledge Die.
The Pit Its Mouth Hath Opened Wide,
To Swallow Up Its Careless Prey;
Why Should They Die, When Thou Hast Died,
Hast Died To Bear Their Sins Away?
Why Should The Foe Thy Purchase Seize?
Remember, Lord, Thy Dying Groans:
The Meed Of All Thy Sufferings These;
O Claim Them For Thy Ransomed Ones!
Extend To These Thy Pardoning Grace;
To These Be Thy Salvation Showed:
O Add Them To Thy Chosen Race!
O Sprinkle All Their Hearts With Blood!
Still Let The Publicans Draw Near:
Open The Door Of Faith And Heaven;
And Grant Their Hearts Thy Word To Hear,
And Witness All Their Sins Forgiven.
