Tune: | [Shepherd of tender youth] |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth,
Thro' devious ways;
Christ our triumphant King,
We come Thy name to sing,
And here our children bring
To shout Thy praise.
2 Thou art our holy Lord,
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife;
Thou didst Thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give us life.
3 Thou art the great High Priest;
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of holy love:
And in our mortal pain,
None calls on Thee in vain;
Help Thou dost not disdain,
Help from above.
4 Ever be near our side,
Our shepherd and our Guide,
Our Staff and Song;
Jesus, Thou Christ of God,
By Thine enduring word,
Lead us where Thou hast trod,
Make our faith strong.
5 So now until we die,
Sound we Thy praises high,
And joyful sing;
Let all the holy throng
Who to Thy Church belong,
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our King!
