142. Saviour, like a shepherd lead us

1 Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use Thy folds prepare;

Chorus:
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are,
Thine we are.

2 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, And pow'r to free;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, And pow'r to free;

Chorus:
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Let us early turn to Thee.
Let us early turn to Thee,
Turn to thee.
