Thou Whom My Soul Admires Above
By Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
T
All earthly joy and earthly love,—
Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know
Where do thy sweetest pastures grow?
That from the sun defends thy flock?
Fain would I feed among thy sheep,
Among them rest, among them sleep.
Who turns aside to paths unknown?
My constant feet would never rove,
Would never seek another love.
