SHEPHERD

Being no hireling He did not run away

And by His love, because He kept the faith

The mauling wolf was finally outfaced;

What was the cost? The Shepherd has been slain:

The sword of God against Him was awake.

Risen He works, showing the young His care,

Healing the sick, pursuing those who stray,

Leading the healthy where they may safely graze.

Lord, help me, as Thy sheep, discriminate

Thy Shepherd voice from voices that are strange;

Guide my thrawn feet far from iniquity

Into the flock of those enjoying grace.

'Thrawn' is Scots for 'twisted ... perverse ...'.  Often used for someone who seems to be deliberately awkward.
