1 Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,
keep me, Lord, in safety keep;
nothing can thy pow'r withstand,
none can pluck me from thy hand.
2 Loving Shepherd, thou didst give
thine own life that I might live;
may I love thee day by day,
gladly thy sweet will obey.
3 Loving Shepherd, ever near,
teach me till thy voice to hear;
suffer not my steps to stray
from the straight and narrow way.
4 Where thou leadest I would go,
walking in thy steps below;
then, before my Father's throne,
Jesu, claim me for thine own.
