lyrics

"The Shepherds Sing"

The shepherds sing, and shall I silent be? My God, no hymn, no hymn for thee?

My soul’s a shepherd, too; a flock it feeds of thoughts, and words, and deeds.

The pasture is Thy word: the streams, Thy grace, Enriching all the place.

Shepherd and flock shall sing, and all my powers, out-sing the daylight hours.

Then we will chide the sun for letting night, take up his place and right.
We sing one common Lord; wherefore he should himself the candle hold.

I will go searching till I find a sun shall stay, till we have done.

A willing shiner, that shall shine as gladly as frost-nipped suns look sadly.

Then will we sing, and shine all our own day and one another pay.

His beams shall cheer my breast, and both so twine till ev’n His beams and my music shine.
