| I lay down My life for the sheep. (John 10:15) |
| Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:16) |
| My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18) |
Oh give to me the shepherd heart
That loveth unto death —
Untiring shepherd’s love impart
As long as I have breath. |
Oh give to me Thy love that cared,
Thy tender heart — I pray —
That Thy dear sheep be shepherded;
Lord, let Thy love have sway. |
