As shepherds appointed, let us gladly labour,
Seek our Lord to give us green pastures to feed.
By the grassy hillside, and by the still water,
All the flock shall flourish, breed and multiply.
Refrain
Beautifully breed, abundantly breed,
All the flock shall flourish, breed and multiply,
Beautifully breed, abundantly breed,
All are washed and holy, as they sing in joy.
As feeders appointed, let us serve with deep love,
Serve thro' the summer heat and the winter snow.
Suffer long thro' all things, endure daily trials,
All the flock shall flourish, breed and multiply.
Refrain
As leaders appointed, watch lest they'd be wounded,
Take heed for the flock and, bravely slay the wolves.
Lord, give me an iron rod, give me strength in Spirit,
All the flock shall flourish, breed and multiply.
Refrain
As seekers appointed, let not one sheep be lost!
We'll search all the land a missing sheep to find.
Lay it on our shoulder, we will bring it back home,
All the flock shall flourish, breed and multiply.
Refrain
