saviour like a shepherd

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us,

much we need thy tender care;

in thy pleasant pastures feed us,

for our use thy folds prepare:

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

thou hast bought us, thine we are;

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

thou hast bought us, thine we are.




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:

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

hear, O hear us when we pray;

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

hear, O hear us when we pray.




Thou hast promised to receive us,

poor and sinful though we be;

thou hast mercy to relieve us,

grace to cleanse and pow'r to free:

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

early let us turn to thee;

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

early let us turn to thee.




Early let us seek thy favour;

early let us do thy will;

blessèd Lord and only Saviour,

with thy love our beings fill:

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

thou hast loved us, love us still;

blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,

thou hast loved us, love us still
