The Hymnal ‎#355

355. Saviour, like a shepherd lead us

Savior, 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!
Thou hast bought us, thine we are.

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!
Let us early turn to thee.

Early let us seek thy favour,
Early let us learn thy will;
Do thou, Lord, our only Savior,
With thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessèd Jesus!
Thou hast loved us: love us still.

Amen.
