1 Loving Shepherd of your sheep,
keep your lamb, in safety keep;
nothing can your power withstand,
none can tear me from your hand.
2 Loving Lord, you chose to give
your own life that we might live;
and your hands outstretched to bless
bear the cruel nails' impress.
3 Help me praise you every day,
gladly serve you and obey;
like your glorious ones above,
happy in your precious love.
4 Loving Shepherd ever near,
teach your lamb your voice to hear;
let my footsteps never stray
from the true and narrow way.
5 Where you lead me I will go,
walking in your steps below;
till, before my Father's throne
I shall know as I am known.
