LOVING SHEPHERD OF THY SHEEP

Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,\nKeep me, Lord, in safety keep;\nNothing can thy power withstand,\nNone can pluck me from thy hand.\n2. Loving shepherd, thou didst give\nThine own life that I might live;\nMay I love thee day by day,\nGladly thy sweet will obey.\n3. Loving Shepherd, ever near,\nTeach me still thy voice to hear;\nSuffer not my step to stray\nFrom the strait and narrow way.\n4. Where thou leadest my I go,\nWalking in thy steps below;\nThen before thy Father’s throne,\nJesu? Claim me for thine own.
