Jesus, Shepherd of Our Souls

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #725 (1994) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, shepherd of our souls, Selfless in your caring, Lead us out to days of peace And of thoughtful sharing. Free our life from ill and war; What is good in us restore. 2 Jesus, be our shepherd still, Though the settings alter; Grant us for our changing days Faith that will not falter. Bless us in our modern scene Of computer and machine. 3 Christ, renew in us the charge At your rising given: That the church in love should bring To this earth your heaven. Give us insight, show us how Life is here, the time is now. 4 May we with a shepherd's heart Love the people round us, Still recalling how your love In our straying found us. Keep us, Lord, in humble ways; Lead us clearly all our days. Topics: Horror of War; Sharing; Shepherd Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: GOOD SHEPHERD

Fred Kaan

1929 - 2009 Person Name: Frederik Herman Kaan Author of "Jesus, Shepherd Of Our Souls" in The Hymn Book of the Anglican Church of Canada and the United Church of Canada Fred Kaan Hymn writer. His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens. Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan. In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth. It was in this congregation that he began to write hymns. The first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
