21	  "FEED MY SHEEP" 

  	    Shepherd, show me how to go
  	      O'er the hillside steep,
24	    How to gather, how to sow, — 
  	      How to feed Thy sheep;

 1	    I will listen for Thy voice,
  	      Lest my footsteps stray;
 3	    I will follow and rejoice
  	      All the rugged way. 

  	    Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
 6	      Wound the callous breast,
  	    Make self-righteousness be still,
  	      Break earth's stupid rest. 
 9	    Strangers on a barren shore,
  	      Lab'ring long and lone,
  	    We would enter by the door,
12	      And Thou know'st Thine own;

  	    So, when day grows dark and cold,
  	      Tear or triumph harms,
15	    Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
  	      Take them in Thine arms;
  	    Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
18	      Till the morning's beam;
  	    White as wool, ere they depart,
  	      Shepherd, wash them clean.
