Ode to the Goat
|
Adapted
from the hymn
"I Am Jesus' Little Lamb"
by Henrietta L. von Hayn, 1724-1782
|
I
am Jesus' little goat,
Ever glad at heart I am;
For my Herder gently guides me,
Knows my need, and well provides me,
Loves me every day the same,
Even calls me by my name.
|
Day
by day, at home, away,
Jesus is my Staff and Stay.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,
Into pleasant pastures leads me;
When I thirst, He bids me go
Where the quiet waters flow.
|
| Who
so happy as I am,
Even now the Herder's goat?
And when my short life is ended,
By His angel host attended,
He shall fold me to His breast,
There within His arms to rest. |
