2. Thy beautiful and shining face
I see not, though so near;
The sweetness of thy soft low voice
I am too deaf to hear.

3. But I have felt thee in my thought, Fighting with sin for me;

And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from thee.

4. And when, dear Saviour, I kneel down,

Morning and night, to prayer, Something there is within my heart Which tells me thou art there.

5. Yes, when I pray, thou prayest too;
Thy prayer is all for me;
But when I sleep, thou sleepest not,
But watchest patiently.

47. The Shepherd's Care.

1. SEE, the kind Shepherd, Jesus, stands,

And calls his sheep by name; Gathers the feeble in his arms, And feeds each tender lamb.

2. He'll lead us to the heavenly streams Where living waters flow;

And guide us to the fruitful fields Where trees of knowledge grow. 3. When, wand'ring from the fold, we leave

The straight and narrow way, Our faithful Shepherd still is near To guide us when we stray.

4. The feeblest lamb amid the flock Shall be the Shepherd's care; While folded in our Saviour's arms, We're safe from every snare.

2. Fear not, I am with thee; Oh be not dismayed, For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid:

stand,

In tenderest pity for sinners to die;

His hands and his feet were nailed to the tree,
And all this he suffered for you and for me.

2. How precious is Jesus to all who believe,
And out of his fulness what grace they receive:

When weak he supports them, when erring he guides,
And every thing needful he kindly provides.

3. Oh give then to Jesus your earliest days;
They only are blessed who walk in his ways:
In life and in death he will still be your Friend,
For whom Jesus loveth, he loves to the end.
