Shepherd, grasp me by the neck With your strong hand so I don't stray Further than I've strayed today. But if I do—oh, bring me back. Shepherd, keep me from all ill. I can hear the wolves that howl In the shadows, and the foul Smell of death—smell of their kill. Shepherd, cheer me with your smile. My face is bleeding from the thorns, My feet are bruised by sharp stones, My legs ache more with every mile. The shepherd took me in his arms Without a word and held me tight. He carried me through that long night Close to his heart, safe from all harm.
