ABEL - Tending, Keeping, Genesis 4:4; Isaiah 40:11

Blurb: Abel was happy tending the sheep.

1. Tending, keeping; all the sheep are sleeping.
This is my job and I like it so;
Shepherd the sheep and then see them grow.
Watch for a wolf or lion or bear!
Guard all day long the sheep in my care.
Yes, I have so many, I've plenty to share;
For I am a tender of sheep!
2. Dad's way! Mom's way!
Keeping sheep in God's way.
Abel (able!) I am, and I'm ready to go;
Out where the grass is, and waters flow.
This is the way my parents said:
Feed them and wash them and put them to bed.
They leap where it's steep, then sleep so deep!
I'm happy I'm tending the sheep.
