385. Savior, Like a Shepherd, Lead Us

1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us;
For our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

2 We are Thine; do Thou befriend us;
Be the guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock; from sin defend us;
Seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray:
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray.

3 Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.

Amen.
