1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tend'rest care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
for our use Thy folds prepare;
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are,
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
2 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,
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
hear, O hear us when we pray.
3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful tho' we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and pow'r to free:
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
We will early turn to Thee,
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
We will early turn to Thee.
4 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Saviour,
With Thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still,
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
