Ye Little Flock Whom Jesus Feeds – Hymn Lyric
Ye little flock whom Jesus feeds,
Dismiss your anxious cares;
Look to the Shepherd of your souls,
And smile away your fears.
Though wolves and lions prowl around,
His staff is your defense;
‘Midst sands and rocks, your Shepherd's voice,
Calls streams and pastures thence.
Your Father will a kingdom give,
And give it with delight;
His feeblest child His love shall call,
To triumph in His sight.
Ten thousand praises, Lord, we bring,
For sure supports like these;
And o'er the pious dead we sing,
Thy living promises.

Ye Little Flock Whom Jesus Feeds: Finding Comfort and Strength in the Shepherd's Care
Oh, how comforting it is to know that we, like a little flock, are lovingly cared for by Jesus! As we face the challenges and worries of this world, we can find solace in the arms of our Shepherd. This hymn reminds us to dismiss our anxious cares and turn to the one who guides and protects us.
In our lives, we often encounter metaphorical wolves and lions challenges and hardships that threaten our peace and security. But we need not fear, for Jesus is our defender. Just as a shepherd uses his staff to protect his flock from predators, Jesus stands by us, shielding us from harm. His love and guidance surround us, even in the most difficult times.
Imagine being lost in a vast desert or surrounded by treacherous rocks. In those moments, it may feel as though hope is slipping away. However, the Shepherd's voice can bring forth streams of life and lead us to green pastures. When we listen and follow His guidance, we find solace and sustenance in places we never thought possible.
But the care of our Shepherd extends beyond our earthly journey. Our Father in heaven promises us a glorious kingdom, where we will rejoice in His presence. Even the most feeble of His children will share in this triumph, for His love knows no bounds. What a joyful promise this is – to know that we are loved and cherished by our Heavenly Father, who desires nothing more than our eternal happiness.
As we reflect on these promises, let us offer ten thousand praises to the Lord. We can find reassurance in the sure supports He provides, both in His living presence and in His promises for the future. Our hearts overflow with gratitude as we consider the ways in which He has carried us through trials, giving us strength when we felt weak and bringing us peace amidst chaos.
Let us also remember those who have gone before us, the pious souls who now rest in heavenly peace. As we sing praises for the living promises of our Lord, we honor and remember those who have placed their faith in Him. Their lives serve as a testament to the faithfulness of our Shepherd and the hope that awaits us all.
In conclusion, dear flock, take heart in the comforting words of this hymn. As we face the storms of life, let us dismiss our anxieties and fears, knowing that Jesus is our loving Shepherd. Through His guidance and protection, we can navigate through even the most challenging of circumstances. And in the end, we can trust in His promise of a kingdom where all His children will rejoice. Let our voices be filled with praises for the sure supports He provides and for the everlasting love that surrounds us. May we find solace and strength in the Shepherd's care, now and forevermore.
