Author: Mrs. H. E. Brown Hymnal: The Silver Chime #57 (1862) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Watch around his flock doth keep.
Lest the roaming beasts of prey
Tear his little lambs away.
2 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Pastures fresh and green doth keep,
Where the streams of life do flow,
There his lambs may eat and grow.
3 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Under-shepherds oft doth keep,
Parents, teachers, friends in need,
Who the little lambs may feed.
4 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Every lamb will surely keep,
No rude enemy shall dare
Pluck them from his loving care.
5 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Still a better fold doth keep--
Up, where heavenly pastures spring,
Every little lamb he'll bring. Tune Title: [Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep]
