By your tending and protecting keep them safe in all they do. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them, never let them go astray; by your warning love directed, may they walk the narrow way. Thus direct them, thus defend them lest they fall an easy prey. 3 By your holy Word instruct them, fill their minds with heav'nly light; by your pow'rful grace convince them always to approve what's right. Let them feel your yoke is easy, let them find your burden light. 4 Taught to love the holy praises which on earth your children sing, with their lips and hearts, sincerely, glad thank-off'rings may they bring, then with all the saints in glory join to praise their Lord and King.

In Thy glory he descries Thee Reigning from the Tree of scorn. 3 Much he asked in loving wonder, On Thy bosom leaning, Lord. In the secret place of thunder Answer kind didst Thou accord, Wisdom for Thy church to ponder Till the day of dread award. 4 Lo, heav'ns doors lift up, revealing How Thy judgments earthward move; Scrolls unfolded, trumpets pealing, Wine cups from the wrath above; Yet o’er all a soft voice stealing, "Little children, trust and love." 5 Thee, th'almighty King eternal, Father of th'eternal Word, Thee, the Father’s Word supernal, Thee, of both the Breath adored, Heaven and earth and realms infernal Own one glorious God and Lord.
