201. Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us

1 Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blessèd Jesus, Blessèd Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are,
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd 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 power to free:
Blessèd Jesus, Blessèd Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee;
Blessèd Jesus, Blessèd Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee.

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

Amen.
