1 Jesus, like a shepherd tender,
Feeds His flock and gives them rest;
Praises to His name we render,
By whose grace our souls are blest.

Refrain:
Blessed Jesus, like a shepherd,
Guide and keep us in the way;
Fit us for Thy happy kingdom
In the glorious realms of day.

2 Feeble as we are, He careth
For our wants from day to day;
Each His love and pity shareth
While He guides us in the way. [Refrain]

3 Holy Jesus, still direct us,
While Thy lambs on earth are found;
Let Thy mighty power protect us
As we pass where snares abound. [Refrain]

4 Keep us, save us, may we never
Turn from Thee, or grieve Thy love;
Feed us, lift us up forever
To Thy glorious fold above. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
