the sheep of his pasture

The sheep of His pasture have gathered To hear what the Shepherd
would say, His voice like the sound of
slow waters, Came rippling through vessels of clay.

‘Tis the voice that brought forth creation And set all the stars in array,
And speaks words of Life and of wisdom, In the midst of His people
today.

Through prophets, by precious blood purchased, Cleansed and surrendered
and filled.
And set in the Body for
service, As the Head of the Body hath willed.
