Quel buon Pastor son io
(That good shepherd am I)

from  La morte d'Abel
Antonio Caldara (music),  Pietro Metastasio (words)

(Abel)


‎




Quel buon Pastor son io,
Che tanto il Gregge apprezza
Che per la sua salvezza
Offre se stesso ancor.

Conosco ad una ad una
Le mie dilette agnelle
E riconoscon quelle
Il tenero Pastor.
