Hymn 833 – BESTIAL beings in the forest dwell | C&S English Hymnary

1. BESTIAL beings in the forest dwell Thus are created of God Of rare specie the lion is Crowned as King of the lot. 2. Image of God and His likeness Men are created of God In obedience and of good works Unto one and to all. 3. Like true children of St. Mary Be of good cheers and chaste In unalloy‘d love like the Lord Christ Jesus Son of God. 4. Be gentle and true as the sheep Embraced by one and all By men and the Almighty God As unto adult grows. 5. Ever the Lord reigneth as King On sacred throne above Watching over all His children Loved, and under His seal AMEN
