The Little Seraph ‎#128

128. Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us

1 Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us,
Much we need thy tend'rest care;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, thine we are,
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 young children when they 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,
Let us early turn to thee.

4 Early let us seek thy favor;
Early let us learn thy will;
Do thou, Lord, our only Saviour,
With thy love our bosoms fill;
Blessed Jesus,
Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us,--love us still.
