Author: Henriette Louise von Hayn; Frederick W. Foster Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: John 10:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Jesus makes my heart rejoice,
I’m his sheep, and know his voice;
he’s a Shepherd, kind and gracious,
And his pastures are delicious;
constant love to me he shows,
yea, my very name he knows.
2 Trusting his mild staff always,
I go in and out in peace;
he will feed me with treasure
of his grace in richest measure;
when athirst to him I cry,
Living water he’ll supply.
3 Should not I for gladness leap,
led by Jesus as his sheep?
For when these blessed days are over
to the arms of my dear Savior
I shall be conveyed to rest.
Amen, yea, my lot is blessed. Topics: Christian Education and Nurture; Christ--Guidance; Christ--Shepherd, the; Joy; Love for Christ; Thankfulness Used With Tune: HAYN
