EACH lamb of Christ is purchased
By precious blood;
Each lamb of Christ is nourished
With heavenly food;
Each lamb of Christ is tended
With loving care;
Each lamb of Christ is destined
Life’s home to share.
How happy to be folded
Upon his breast!
His purchased lamb, there ever
In peace to rest;
To fear no condemnation
Since he has died;
To have a full salvation —
To none denied.
Dear child, and art thou loving
This precious One?
Art thou, by faith, rejoicing
On God’s dear Son?
Fly to his loved embraces,
He waits for thee;
Accept his offer’d mercy,
And happy be.
