Blessèd Shepherd

Blessèd Shep­herd of my soul

Let me in Thy pre­sence be;

If in sor­row I should wan­der

Blessèd Shep­herd

be with me.

Blessèd Shep­herd

ev­er lead me

Be my com­fort day by day;

Till this wea­ry life is end­ed

And these tears are wiped away.

Mighty Shep­herd of my life

In Thy arms I help­less fall;

Leave me not alone to per­ish

Save me when on Thee I call.

Blessèd Shep­herd of my soul

Let me on Thy bo­som rest;

Leaning there and sweet­ly trust­ing

I shall be for­ev­er blest.

Shepherd Bi­shop of the sheep

Dost Thou love the one as­tray?

On the mount­ain wild and drea­ry

Bring him to Thy fold to­day.
