Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #486 (1888) First Line: 'Tis not a cause of small import Lyrics: 1 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands,
But what might fill an angel's heart,
And filled a Saviour's hands.
2 They watch for souls for whom the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego--
For souls that must for ever live
In rapture or in woe.
3 All to the great tribunal haste,
The account to render there;
And shouldst thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord! how should we appear?
4 May they that Jesus whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer, see,
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.
