304. 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.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

2 We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,
Be the guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, oh hear us, when we pray.

3 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.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
We will early turn to Thee.

4 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will:
Blessed Lord and only Saviour!
With Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us--love us still.
