167. Gentle Jesus, Loving Shepherd

1 Gentle Jesus is a Shepherd
And His children ev’rywhere
Are the lambs within His pasture
That receive His tender care.

Chorus:
Yes, ‘tis Jesus, gentle Jesus,
Who is Shepherd to us all
And afar He knows and sees us;
May we heed His loving call!

2 Gentle Jesus, loving Shepherd
Shields His flock from wild alarms.
Heals the bruis’d ones, finds the lost ones
Bears the helpless in His arms. [Chorus]

3 Yes, ‘tis Jesus, who as Shepherd
Bread of heaven feeds each one,
Gives to drink from living fountains
Rests the soul, when day is done. [Chorus]

4 Then to Jesus, precious Shepherd
May we ever grateful be!
And as lambs their owner follow
Lord may we so follow Thee. [Chorus]
