16449. Gathered And Safe

1 Dear Sav­ior, Thou shep­herd that lead­eth Thy flock,
Beside the still wa­ters that burst from the rock,
Over hearts look­ing up­ward are pray­ing to Thee,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be.

Refrain:
Gathered and safe in its shel­ter so warm,
Gathered and safe from the tem­pest and storm,
Our hearts look­ing up­ward are pray­ing to Thee,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be.

2 We know Thou hast pro­mised to care for Thy sheep;
The lambs on Thy bo­som we know Thou wilt keep.
And now our pe­ti­tion we of­fer to Thee,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be. [Refrain]

3 Dear Sav­ior and Shep­herd, how love­ly Thy fold;
How green are its pas­tures, how fair to be­hold;
Again our pe­ti­tion we of­fer to Thee,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be. [Refrain]

4 Thou wilt not in dan­ger be far from Thine own,
Nor leave them when tempt­ed to strug­gle alone;
O grant the pe­ti­tion we of­fer to Thee,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be. [Refrain]
