Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Author: Johann W. Meinhold; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal #414 (1916) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled Now thy little lamb's brief weeping: Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping! And no sign of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. In this world of care and pain, Lord, thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with thee in light. Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though thou take what most we love. Amen. Topics: Burial of the Dead For Children Languages: English Tune Title: MEINHOLD

Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may once be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving. Then the gain of death we'll prove, Though Thou take what most we love. Amen. Topics: Death Of Children; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: MEINHOLD
