Remember them, etc.
Heb. 13:7.
What though the arm of conquering death
Does God’s own house invade;
What though our teacher and our friend
Is numbered with the dead;—
2 Though earthly shepherds dwell in dust,
The agéd and the young;
The watchful eye in darkness closed,
And dumb the instructive tongue?
3 The eternal Shepherd still survives,
His teachings to impart:
Lord, be our Leader and our Guide,
And rule and keep our heart.
4 Yes, while the dear Redeemer lives,
We have a boundless store,
And shall be fed with what he gives,
Who lives for evermore.
