John 10:26: The sheep with meek docility
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The sheep with meek docility
Expect the Shepherd's voice to hear,
Jesus by faith they cleave to Thee;
Obedience is their character.
Obedience doth their faith approve.
And tender fear, and humble love.
Saviour, on me the faith bestow
Which joins a sinner to the sheep:
And when" Thy pardoning voice I know,
To Thee and Thine united keep,
Till in that awful day I stand,
Among the sheep at Thy right hand.
