Lyrics
Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
much we need Thy tender care;
in Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
for our use Thy folds prepare:
|| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are; ||
We are Thine - do Thou befriend us,
be the Guardian of our way;
keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
seek us when we go astray:
|| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
hear, O hear us when we pray; ||
Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse and pow'r to free:
|| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
early let us turn to Thee ||
Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
with Thy love our bosoms fill
|| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still ||
