436. Jesus, Shepherd of the Sheep

1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Who your Father's flock does keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by you.

2 In your promise firm we stand;
None can take us from your hand.
Speak -- we hear -- at your command,
We will follow you.

3 By your blood our souls were bought;
By your life salvation wrought;
By your light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow you.

4 Father, draw us to your Son;
We with joy will follow on
Till the work of grace is done,
There to live with you.

5 We, in robes of glory dressed,
Join th' assembly of the blest,
Gathered to eternal rest
In the fold with you.
