Gentle Shep­herd, save me now!
Type of your ev­er­last­ing doom:
He suf­fered want and pain,
O be it still pur­sued;
Mercy joined to just de­gree,
But you re­ject­ed all His calls,
Were driv­en in by me.
Lord, we have broke Thy ho­ly laws,
Ere the bil­lows sweep away
Bold to de­fend re­li­gion’s cause,
Gladly will His com­ing hail;
Long thou hast wan­dered,
Back to Thy fold the wan­der­ers bring;
start
Lovingly plead­ing, plead­ing, plead­ing,
Nor ac­cept the prof­fered rest.
To make me His care;
Thine hon­or bids, Av­enge Thy in­jured name,

slight­ed

Though un­grate­ful I have been,
His Gos­pel and His peo­ple’s cause,
All this He did en­dure,
Should nev­er be re­newed.
Fall, fall on me.
The Sav­ior you des­pised,
Thy gen­tle voice that said:
And just­ly Thy vin­dict­ive wrath
Flee for re­fuge while you may.
Their first con­cern, their fore­most aim,
They shall at His pre­sence wail.
Love is not sun­dered.
And hail in Christ their pro­mised king.
The Sav­ior to­day;
Thou canst be hap­py, hap­py, hap­py,
Canst Thou such a heart re­ceive?
Rejected, and grieved Him,
While my moist tears might but in­cense Thy flame.
