The sheep you have been called to tend are crying out
Incline your ear to their bleating

They look for water where there is none
and sleep in places of peril.

They are lost without direction for the
way laid before them is not clear.

The shepherd has lost his sight and stumbles
upond stones placed in his way.

Listen to the Master all you who hear His voice
let not your heart grow weary.

The sheep belong to the Master and He is their guidance.

Though they may scatter and the shepherd falter,
all belong to the Lord.

He knows each and calls them by name
to the place He has set for them.

Do not fear and let your heart not faint
for the Master has heard the crying of his lambs.
