Shepherd of Tender Youth

Author: Clement of Alexandria, c. 150-c. 220; Henry M. Dexter, 1821-1890 Appears in 281 hymnals Topics: Ancient Hymns Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of tender youth, Guiding in love and truth, Through devious ways; Christ our triumphant King, We come Thy Name to sing, Hither our children bring, To shout Thy praise. 2 Thou art our Holy Lord, The 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 Thou art the Great High Priest; Thou hast prepared the feast Of heavenly love: While in our mortal pain, None calls on Thee in vain; Help Thou dost not disdain, Help from above. 4 Ever be Thou our Guide, Our Shepherd and our Pride, Our Staff and Song: Jesus, Thou Christ of God, By Thy eternal 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: Infants and the glad throng Who to Thy Church belong, Unite to swell the song To Christ our King! Amen. Used With Tune: KIRBY BEDON
