Death & Dying
Matthew 15:21: The bowels of that Shepherd good
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Death & Dying
The bowels of that Shepherd good
Who purchased Israel with His blood
What tongue can fully tell?
He leaves the ninety-nine behind,
One single straggling sheep to find,
One tortured soul to heal.
