And happier far than the lambs I have seen.
If I drink of the waters so peaceful and still,
That flow in His field, I for ever shall live;
If I love Him, and seek His commands to fulfil,
A place in His sheepfold to me will He give.
The lambs are at peace in the fields when they play,
The long summer’s day in contentment they spend;
But happier I, if in God’s holy way
I try to walk always, with Christ for my Friend.
