Hymn 26<br>
[[L.M.D.]]<br>
1. Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,<br>
The joy and desire of my heart;<br>
For closer communion I pine,<br>
I long to reside where thou art:<br>
The pasture I languish to find,<br>
Where all who their Shepherd obey<br>
Are fed, on thy bosom reclined,<br>
And screened from the heat of the day.

2. Ah! shew me that happiest place,<br>
The place of thy people's abode,<br>
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,<br>
And hang on a crucified God:<br>
Thy love for a sinner declare,<br>
Thy passion and death on the tree;<br>
My spirit to Calvary bear,<br>
To suffer and triumph with thee.

3. 'Tis there with the lambs of thy flock,<br>
There only I covet to rest,<br>
To lie at the foot of the rock,<br>
Or rise to be hid in thy breast:<br>
'Tis there I would always abide,<br>
And never a moment depart;<br>
Concealed in the cleft of thy side,<br>
Eternally held in thy heart.
