Good shepherd, great shepherd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #554 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou didst lead Thy chosen flock the desert through, And from between the cherubim Thy mercy and thy favour show. 2 And though their sins provoked thee oft, To give them to their foes a prey, Yet didst thou, for thy mercy sake As often turn thy wrath away. 3 But, ah! they fill'd the measure up Of all their aggravated guilt, When on the hill of Calvary The blood of thine own Son they spilt. 4 And now for ages they have been Cast out and banish'd from thy sight, Wandering through all the earth, as those In whom thou hast no more delight. 5 Yet is thy word of promise sure, That they shall be again restor'd, And with the gentile church unite To worship and to serve the Lord. 6 Our faith in expectation waits, To see that glorious morning rise, O bid the shadows flee away, And satisfy our longing eyes.
