Shepherding in Love

Me He sought

a lost and wand’ring lamb

Me He bought

His life outpoured;

I receive His life divine

Know

enjoy Him evermore.

O my Lord

how I love Thee!

I can’t help but sink in Thee!

By such great love I’m moved

constrained

All my life I give to Thee.

You’re so sweet

my brook

my pasture green

Waking me

to righteous paths

’Tis by faith that I’m empow’red

To live out Thy righteousness.

Though the world would bring me woe

Tide of age would ebb and flow

Yet

Lord

Thy love cannot be swayed

In Thy care

no lack I know.

When my sense of Thy dear presence fades

When I lose all touch with Thee

Though my heart is caught in doubt

Rod and staff

they comfort me.

Life by faith

I surely know

Shepherd leads me as I go

Here as I feast before my foes

Cup of blessing overflows.

Foll’wing Thee

Good Shepherd

I would feed

Shepherd those allotted me

E’er I’d touch Thy heart’s desire

Live in Thine economy.

O my Lord

All thanks to Thee!

Goodness

mercy follow me;

I’d ever dwell within Thy house

As Thy Body glorious!
