Alternate Tunes
|
| 1. Loving shepherd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy power withstand,
None can pluck him from Thy hand.
2. May he praise Thee every day,
Gladly all Thy will obey;
Like Thy blessèd ones above,
Happy in Thy precious love.
3. Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach Thy lamb Thy voice to hear;
Suffer not his steps to stray
From the straight and narrow way.
4. Where Thou leadest may he go,
walking in Thy steps below,
Then, before Thy Father’s throne,
Saviour, claim him for thine own.
5.
*****************************
another version:
Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy power withstand,
None can pluck me from Thy hand.
6. Loving Savior, Thou didst give
Thine own life that we might live,
And the hands outstretched to bless
Bear the cruel nails’ impress.
7. I would praise Thee every day,
Gladly all Thy will obey,
Like Thy blessèd ones above
Happy in Thy precious love.
8. Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach Thy lamb Thy voice to hear,
Suffer not my steps to stray
From the straight and narrow way.
9. Where Thou leadest I would go,
Walking in Thy steps below,
Till before my Father’s throne
I shall know as I am known.
