498. Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us

1 Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tend'rest care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blesséd Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

2 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and pow'r to free;
Blesséd Jesus,
Let us early turn to Thee.

3 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will;
Blesséd Lord and only Saviour,
With Thy love our bosoms fill:
Blesséd Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
