THE SHEPHERD {INFANT JOY/SWEET JOY} DUCKS IN HEAVEN

Infant Joy

"I have no name:

I am but two days old."

What shall I call thee:'

"I happy am,
Joy is my name."

Sweet joy befall thee!

Pretty joy!

Sweet joy, but two days old.

Sweet joy I call thee:

Thou dost smile,

I sing the while,

Sweet joy befall thee!

The Shepherd

How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot!
From the morn to the evening he strays;
He shall follows his sheep all the day,

And his tongue shall be filled with praise.

For he hears the lamb's innocent call,

And he hears the ewe's tender reply;
He is watchful while they are in peace,

For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
