Flocks Of Sheep May Safely Graze

Johan Sebastien Bach
The 'Hunt' cantata, #208 (1713)

Flocks of sheep may safely graze
while in their shepherd's tender care,
Safely slumber, free from danger, free from hunger,
in their shepherd's tender care.

As the shepherd leadeth well,
so God with kind and loving mind
leads all who in his care will dwell

As the shepherd leadeth well,
there rest is found and peace abounds,
rest and peace and all that make a joyful land

Flocks of sheep may safely graze
while in their shepherd's tender care,
Safely slumber, free from danger, free from hunger,
in their shepherd's tender care.
