Did the shep­herds learn their lays?
In my Re­deem­er found.
Born and per­ish­ing on earth;
Fed and guid­ed by His hand;
Though Thy love I long have slight­ed,
How long hath God be­stowed His care
Their so­lemn vows they soon re­voke,
Acting well our low­ly part;
He meek and pa­tient stood.
Shall I be saved to­night?
So con­science, like the cock, up­braids

un­grate­ful

Should my tongue re­fuse to praise.
That can from Je­sus turn,
Ours are bless­ings dear­ly bought;
Only made re­turns of sin,
To Thy fold my faith has brought me;
How oft in times of dan­ger near,
Forget the tem­pest, fire and smoke,
God will prize the hum­ble heart.
He la­bored for their good.
Shall I be saved to­night?
Lord Je­sus, hear a sin­ner’s cry,
