The author of the libretto is Pietro Metastasio.

Caldara's version was the very first – around 40 different compositions setting Metastasio's libretto to music were to follow.[2]

Libretto

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.
