Great Shepherd of the Sheep

Great Shepherd of the sheep, In Thy fold of love

Author: Amos R. Wells
Tune: BOYLSTON
Published in 1 hymnal

Piano/Organ

A Treasury of Hymn Settings, Volume 2

Representative Text

1 Great Shepherd of the sheep,
In Thy one fold of love
Thy many children guard and keep
Like that great throng above.

2 Seek we each other’s weal,
Share we each other’s woe,
Low at one common altar kneel,
One common purpose know.

3 Nearer, O Lord, to Thee;
Nearer our brother then;
Till the wide world, from sea to sea,
Join in one glad Amen.
