"Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks" (Proverbs 27:23). "All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.... He shall bear their iniquities.... He hath poured out His soul unto death" (Isaiah 53:6,11,12).
Our Shepherd looked down to behold
And consider the state of his flocks.
Like sheep gone astray from His fold,
In sin and self-will each one walks.
How startling He so loved the lost,
That He poured out His soul unto death!
He saved us at such a high cost,
We should thank Him with every last breath!
