Pass'd me by on the road.
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
All in the April morning,
Up on the hill-top green;
Dewy pastures are sweet:
Rest for the little bodies,
With a weak human cry;
Two stark crosses between.
Rest for the Lamb of God
I thought on the Lamb of God.
I thought on the Lamb of God
Rest for the little feet.
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
All in an April evening
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
Pass'd me by on the road;
Up in the blue, blue mountains
The lambs were weary, and crying
And thought on the Lamb of God.
All in the April evening,
Only a cross of shame
Going meekly to die.
