Zechariah 13:7: Smitten the Shepherd was
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Smitten the Shepherd was,
Dispersed the frighted sheep:
But gather'd now beneath His cross
He doth His people keep;
From Him, whose hand doth hold,
We shall no more be driven.
For when His bosom is our fold.
We rest secure in heaven.
