The Children’s Shepherd

I’m glad that I have a Good Shep­herd

So pa­tient as Je­sus can be;

I know that He loves lit­tle child­ren

And so I am sure He loves me.

’Tis Je­sus

my shep­herd

who loves me;

He calls me His own lit­tle lamb;

I know that He al­ways will bless me

And I’ll love Him wher­ev­er I am.

I’m glad that I have a Good Shep­herd

Who helps me His word to obey;

He walks at my side

and He leads me

For fear I should wan­der away.

I’m glad that I have a Good Shep­herd

To keep me from trou­ble and wrong;

Who some­time will take me to Heav­en

That beau­ti­ful coun­try of song.
