Text: | The Good Shepherd |
Tune: | THE GOOD SHEPHERD |
1 The Shepherd loves to trace
His flock with watchful eye;
So Christ, our Shepherd, full of grace,
To us is ever nigh.
2 The sheep his kindness know,
When timid fear alarms:
So we affrighted, safely go
To our Redeemer's arms.
3 The lambs he gently leads
To pastures green and fair:
And so the Saviour kindly feeds
The children of his care.
4 When stormy tempests blow,
He shields them from the cold,
So to escape from sin and wo,
We enter Jesus' fold.
5 Thy voice to hear we love;
Dear Shepherd be our guide;
That we within thy fold above
For ever may reside.
