Gloria Deo ‎#270

270. Jesus, Shepherd of the Sheep

1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Who Thy Father’s flock doth keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by Thee.

2 In Thy promise firm we stand,
None can pluck us from Thy hand,
Speak, we hear, at Thy command,
We will follow Thee.

3 By Thy blood our souls were bought,
By Thy life salvation wrought,
By Thy light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow Thee.

4 Father, draw us to Thy Son,
We with joy will follow on,
Till the work of grace is done,
And from sin set free.

5 We in robes of glory drest
Join th’assembly of the blest,
Gathered to eternal rest,
In the fold with Thee.
