The Crown of Glory

(from 1 Peter 5:1-11)

Be the shepherds of your flock,
All elders have been told,
Take pleasure watching over,
The children of your fold

Eventually the Shepherd Chief,
Our Master will appear,
And crown you for your honesty,
With glory which draws near

Submit yourselves to elders,
All youngsters have been asked,
Make yourselves most humble,
God's favour ever lasts

All will be uplifted,
Raised up by mighty hands,
Free from fear and worry,
Restored by God's commands.
