How Great the Bliss to Be a Sheep of Jesus

Author: Christian Ignatius La Trobe, 1758-1836; Johann Jakob Rambach, 1693-1735 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #368 (1969) Lyrics: 1 How great the bliss to be a sheep of Jesus, And to be guided by His shepherd-staff! Earth’s greatest honors, howsoe’er they please us, Compared to this are vain and empty chaff. Yea, what this world can never give, May, through the Shepherd’s grace, each needy sheep receive. 2 Here is a pasture, rich and never failing, Here living waters in abundance flow; None can conceive the grace with tem prevailing, Who Jesus’ shepherd voice obey and know; He banishes all fear and strife, And leads them gently on to everlasting life. 3 Whoe’er would spend his days in lasting pleasure Must come to Christ and join His flock with speed; Here is a feast prepared, rich beyond measure, The world meanwhile on empty husks must feed. Those souls may share in every good Whose Shepherd doth possess the treasuries of God. Topics: The Life in Christ Joy and Peace in Believing Languages: English Tune Title: AGNUS CHRISTI
