John 21:15: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Every shepherd under Thee
His love by suffering shows,
Honour, ease, and liberty,
And life itself foregoes;
Life he carries in his hand,
All for Thee accounts but loss,
Ready still at Thy command
To die upon Thy cross.
