Author: Miss Jane E. Leeson, 1815-1882 Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #286 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd,
Little ones are dear to Thee;
Gathered with Thine arms, and carried
In Thy bosom may they be.
2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them
From Thy fold to go astray;
By Thy look of love directed,
May they walk the narrow way.
3 Taught to lisp the holy praises
Which on earth Thy children sing,
May we with Thy saints in glory
Join to praise our Lord and King. Topics: Christ Shepherd; Primary Department Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd
