Original text and translations

CCXXXII Christ's Sheep given by the Father and guarded by Omnipotence John x 29 30

1 In one harmonious cheerful song, Ye happy saints, combine; Loud let it sound from ev'ry tongue, The Saviour is divine

2 The least, the feeblest of the sheep To him the father gave; Kind is his heart the charge to keep, And strong his arm to save

3 In Christ the almighty Father dwells, And Christ and he are one; The rebel power, which Christ assails, Attacks the eternal throne.

4 That hand which heaven and earth sustains, And bars the gates of hell, And rivets Satan down in chains, Shall guard his chosen well.

5 Now let the infernal lion roar, How vain his threats appear! When he can match Jehovah's power, I will begin to fear.
