A Little Flock! So Calls He Thee

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A little flock! So calls He thee, Who bought thee with His blood; A little flock, disowned of men, But owned and loved of God. 2 A little flock! So calls He thee; Church of the first-born, hear! Be not ashamed to own the name; It is no name of fear. 3 A little flock! Yes, even so; A handful among men, Such is the purpose of thy God; So willeth He, Amen! 4 Not many rich or noble called, Not many great or wise; They whom God makes His kings and priests, Are poor in human eyes. 5 Church of the everlasting God, The Father’s gracious choice, Amid the voices of this earth, How feeble is thy voice! 6 Thy words amid the words of earth, How noiseless and how low! Amid the hurrying crowds of time, Thy steps how calm and slow! 7 But ’mid the wrinkled brows of earth, Thy brow how free from care; ’Mid the flushed cheeks of riot here, Thy cheek how pale and fair! 8 Amid the restless eyes of earth, How steadfast is thine eye, Fixed on the silent loveliness Of the far eastern sky. 9 A little flock! ’Tis well, ’tis well; Such be her lot and name; Thro’ ages past it has been so, And now ’tis still the same. 10 But the chief Shepherd comes at length; Her feeble days are o’er, No more a handful in the earth, A little flock no more. 11 No more a lily among thorns; Weary, and faint, and few, But countless as the stars of heaven, Or as the early dew. 12 Then entering the eternal halls, In robes of victory, That mighty multitude shall keep The joyous jubilee. 13 Unfading palms they bear aloft, Unfaltering songs they sing; Unending festival they keep, In presence of the King.

He that doth in the secret place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that doth in the secret place of the Most High reside, under the shade of him that is the Almighty shall abide. 2 I of the Lord my God will say, He is my refuge still, he is my fortress and my God, and in him trust I will. 3 Assuredly he shall thee save, and give deliverance both from the fowler’s snare and from the noisome pestilence. 4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust under his wings shall be: his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid for terrors of the night; nor for the arrow that doth fly by day, while it is light; 6 nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness secretly; nor for destruction that doth waste at noon-day openly. 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, on thy right hand shall lie ten thousand dead; yet unto thee it shall not once come nigh. 8 Thou with thine eyes shalt only look, and a beholder be; and thou the merited reward of wicked men shalt see. 9 For thou, O Lord, art constantly my refuge and mine aid; thou hast the Lord who is most high thy habitation made. 10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come; no ill shall thee befall: 11 for thee to keep in all thy ways his angels charge he shall. 12 They in their hands shall bear thee up, still waiting thee upon; lest thou at any time should’st dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread, and on the lion strong; thy feet on dragons trample shall, and on the lions young. 14 Because on me he set his love, deliver him will I; because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high. 15 He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him; I will be with him still in trouble, to deliver him, and honour him I will. 16 And length of days to his desire I will on him bestow; and, in my love, I unto him will my salvation show.
