¶Lyrics / Text

1 Thou shepherd of Israel, and mine, The joy, and desire of my heart; For closer communion I pine, I long to reside where Thou art: The pasture I languish to find, Where all, who their shepherd obey, Are fed, on Thy bosom reclined, Are screened from the heat of the day. 2 Ah! show me that happiest place, That place of Thy people’s abode; Where saints in an ecstasy gaze, And hang on a crucified God: Thy love for a sinner declare, Thy passion and death on the tree; My spirit to Calvary bear, To suffer, and triumph with Thee. 3 ’Tis there with the lambs of Thy flock, There only I covet to rest: To lie at the foot of the rock, Or rise to be hid in Thy breast; ’Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart, Concealed in the cleft of Thy side, Eternally held in Thine heart.
