THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

By Eliza H. Morton

Upon the mountains wild of life The sheep are led astray, And wander on o’er tracts of sand, In blind uncertain way.
The floods of sin are deep and dark, The midnight air is chill; The wilderness is bleak and drear, And far from Zion’s hill.
No lamb is left unsought by Him— The Shepherd of the sheep; He calls his own by well-known name, Tho’ silence oft they keep.
O Shepherd, good and ever true! Thy tender love is strong; The shadow of thy staff is rest; Thy voice is endless song.
O pastures green, and place of rest! When will mine eyes behold The Shepherd as he leads his flock To everlasting fold?
ELIZA H. MORTON.
