Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep

Loving shep­herd of Thy sheep

Keep Thy lamb

in safe­ty keep.

Nothing can Thy pow­er with­stand;

None can pluck me from Thy hand.

Bought with blood

and bought for Thee

Thine

and on­ly Thine I’d be

Holy

harm­less

hum­ble

mild

Jesus Christ’s obe­di­ent child.

Loving Sav­ior

Thou didst give

Thine own life that we might live;

And the hands out­stretched to bless

Bear the cru­el nails’ im­press.

I would bless Thee ev­ery day

Gladly all Thy will ob­ey

Like Thy bless­èd ones ab­ove

Happy in Thy pre­cious love.

Loving Shep­herd

ev­er near

Teach Thy lamb Thy voice to hear;

Suffer not my steps to stray

From the straight and nar­row way.

Where Thou lead­est I would go

Walking in Thy steps be­low

Till be­fore my Fa­ther’s throne

I shall know as I am known.
