Hymnal: Christian Hymns #303 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd,
Children all are dear to Thee;
Gathered with Thine arms, and carried
In Thy bosom may we be:
Sweetly, fondly, safely tended,
From all want and danger free.
2 Tender Shepherd, never leave us
From Thy fold to go astray;
By Thy look of love directed,
May we walk the narrow way;
Thus direct us, and protect us,
Lest we fall an easy prey.
3 Cleanse our hearts from sinful folly,
In the stream Thy love supplied,
Mingled stream of blood and water,
Flowing from Thy wounded side;
And to heavenly pastures lead us,
Where Thine own still waters glide.
4 Let Thy holy Word instruct us;
Guide us daily by its light;
Let Thy love and grace constrain us
To approve whate'er is right,
Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it,
Strengthened with Thy heavenly might.
5 Taught to lisp the holy praises
Which on earth Thy children sing,
Both with lips and hearts unfeigned,
May we our thank-offerings bring;
Then with all the saints in glory
Join to praise our Lord and King. Topics: Christ Loveliness of; Christ Shpeherd; Faith; Guidance, prayed for; Heaven; Holiness; Prayer General Petition; Protection, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
