The New Christian Hymnal ‎#161

161. Savior, Who Thy Flock Art Feeding

1. Savior, who Thy flock art feeding
With the shepherd's kindest care,
All the feeble gently leading,
While the lambs Thy bosom share.

2. Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in Thy gracious arm:
There, we know, Thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.

3. Never, from Thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let Thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them thro' life's dang'rous way,

4. Then, within Thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of Thy grace.
