Text: | Loving Shepherd of Your Sheep |
Author: | Eliza Leeson |
Tune: | SONG 13 |
Composer: | Orlando Gibbons |
1 Loving Shepherd of your sheep,
all your lambs in safety keep;
nothing can your power withstand,
none can pluck them from your hand.
2 May they praise you ev'ry day,
gladly all your will obey,
like your blessed ones above,
happy in your precious love.
3 Loving Shepherd, ever near,
teach your lambs your voice to hear;
suffer not their steps to stray
from the straight and narrow way.
4 Where you lead them may they go,
walking in your steps below;
then, before your Father's throne,
Savior, claim them for your own.
