114. Shepherd of tender youth

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 join Thy praise.

2 Thou art our holy Lord,
O 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 O wisdom's 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, and till 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!
