LyicsJe-sus, thou Shepherd of the sheep,
Thy lit-tle flock in safe-ty keep;
These lambs within thine arms now take,
Nor let them e'er thy fold for-sake.
Secure them from the scorching beam,
And lead them to the liv-ing stream;
In verdant pas-tures let them lie,
And watch them with a shep-herd's eye.
Oh, teach them to discern thy voice,
And in its sacred sound rejoice!
From strangers may they ever flee,
And know no other guide but thee.
Lord, bring thy sheep that wander yet,
And let their number be complete;
Then let the flock from earth remove,
And reach the heavenly fold above.
