Author: Bogatzky Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of the sheep,
Who all Thy flock doth 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 I fear I may be torn
By many a sharp-set thorn,
As far from Thee I stray;
My weary feet may bleed,
For rough are paths which lead
Out of Thy pleasant way.
3 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.
4 Till, from the soil of sin
Cleansed and made pure within,
Dear Saviour, Who hast died,
Thou bringest me in love,
Save to Thy fould above,
Forever to abide.
