SHEEP

The firstlings of His flock” -

In choiceness God introduced

In His word, the sheep.


He brings soon to our view

The ram’s vigour,

Entrapping it to His will.


He shows us His yearling

Whose blood is cover

And whose flesh sustains.


And if our weakness

Attains to a sucking lamb only

He accepts it as a whole burnt-offering.
