Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#527

527. Loving Shepherd of Your Sheep

1 Loving Shepherd of your sheep,
all your lambs in safety keep;
nothing can your power withstand,
none can pluck them from your hand.

2 May they praise you ev'ry day,
gladly all your will obey,
like your blessed ones above,
happy in your precious love.

3 Loving Shepherd, ever near,
teach your lambs your voice to hear;
suffer not their steps to stray
from the straight and narrow way.

4 Where you lead them may they go,
walking in your steps below;
then, before your Father's throne,
Savior, claim them for your own.
