264. Great Shepherd of the sheep

1 Great Shepherd of the sheep,
Who all Thy flock dost keep,
Leading by waters calm;
Do Thou my footsteps guide,
To follow by Thy side;
Make me Thy little lamb,
Make me Thy little lamb.

2 But when the road is long,
Thy tender arm and strong
The weary one will bear;
And Thou wilt wash me clean,
And lead to pastures green,
Where all the flowers are fair.

3 Till from the soil of sin,
Cleansed and made pure within,
Dear Saviour, whose I am;
Thou bringest me in love
To Thy safe fold above,
A little snow-white lamb

Amen.
