OUR SHEPHERD.


Safe folded in His loving arms
The tender lambs He bears.

He keeps them by His side;
Their souls to Him are dear ;
He is their Father, Friend and Guide,
While they are wandering here.

And when Hfe's day is o'er,
And rest and peace are given,
Bright angels on Death's farther shore
Shall welcome them to heaven.
