356. Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep

1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Who Thy Father’s flock dost keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by Thee.

2 In Thy promise firm we stand,
None can pluck us from Thy hand,
Speak--we hear--at Thy command,
We will follow Thee.

3 By Thy blood our souls were bought,
By Thy life salvation wrought,
By Thy light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow Thee.

4 Father, draw us to Thy Son;
We with joy will follow on,
Till the work of grace is done,
And from sin set free--

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