137. Jesus, My Shepherd

1 Jesus, my Shepherd,
Call with a sweet command,
Lead with a loving hand
My steps to Thee;
Where living fountains glide
There would I still abide,
Jesus my only Guide,
Close, close to Thee.

2 Jesus, my Shepherd,
Now to Thy pastures fair,
Safe in Thy tender care
O lead Thou me;
If Thou art always near,
And still Thy voice I hear,
No danger will I fear,
Close, close to Thee.

3 Jesus, my Shepherd,
Help me Thy name to praise,
Keep me in all my ways,
O keep Thou me;
Then in the upper fold
Where youth is never old,
Let me Thy joy behold,
Close, close to Thee.
