Over The Thorn And Thistle

Author: H. W. G. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15993 Lyrics: 1 Over the thorn and thistle, Along the stony way, From the Shepherd’s care to desert bare, There wandered a sheep one day; And a voice fell sadly from far away: My sheep, how long wilt thou love to stray? My sheep, how long wilt thou love to stray? 2 Over the thorn and thistle, Along the stony way, With feet that bled, the Shepherd sped To where the wanderer lay— He had heard it crying from far away: Lord, bring me home to Thy flock, I pray; Lord, bring me home to Thy flock, I pray. 3 Over the thorn and thistle, Along the stony way, I have sought for thee, now trust to Me, I’ll bear thee home today; The wolf and lion flee far away When on My shoulder My sheep I lay, When on My shoulder My sheep I lay. 4 Instead of thorn and thistle, See myrtle deck the way Where the Shepherd feeds and gently leads The sheep He found that day; And He leadeth others from far away To rest in fields of a cloudless day, To rest in fields of a cloudless day.
