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.
