641. Saviour, like a shepherd lead us

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!
Hear young children when they pray.

3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and power to free:
Blessed Jesus!
Let us early turn to Thee.

4 Early let us seek Thy favour;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Saviour,
With Thyself our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
