1. Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled   Now Thy little lamb’s brief weeping; Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild,   In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping, And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2. In this world of care and pain,   Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny, heavenly plain   Thou dost now with joy receive it, Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3. Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we   Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see   That its heavenly food are giving, Then the gain of death we prove Though Thou take what most we love.   — translation by Catherine Winkworth, 1858   — original German text by Johann W. Meinhold, 1835
