LyicsJESUS, thou Shepherd of the sheep,
Thy little flock in safety keep;
These lambs within Thine arms now take,
Nor let them e'er Thy fold forsake.
Secure them from the scorching beam,
And lead them to the living stream;
In verdant pastures let them lie,
And watch them with a shepherd's eye.
O teach them to discern Thy voice,
And in its sacred sound rejoice;
From strangers my 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 heav'nly fold above.
