| Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood. (Acts 20:28) |
| Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (1 Peter 5:2‑3) |
Make me, my Lord, aware Of peril in the air, Or ever ravening wolf can leap On Thy defenseless sheep. |
Give me the eye that sees When he is threatening these Whom Thou hast trusted to my care; Let me not fail them there. |
