SS&S 403: OVER THE THRONE AND THISTLE

SS&S 403: OVER THE THRONE AND THISTLE

1. Over the thorn and thistle,

Along the stony way,

From the Shepherd's care to the 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?"

 

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!"

 

3. "Over the thorn and thistle,

Along the stony way,

I have sought for thee, now trust to Me,

I'll bear thee home to-day.

The wolf and lion flee far away

When on My shoulder My sheep I lay."

 

4. Instead of the thorn and thistle,

The myrtle bedecks 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.
