Loving shep­herd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lamb, in safe­ty keep.
Nothing can Thy pow­er with­stand;
None can pluck me from Thy hand.
Bought with blood, and bought for Thee,
Thine, and on­ly Thine I’d be,
Holy, harm­less, hum­ble, mild,
Jesus Christ’s obe­di­ent child.

Loving Sav­ior, Thou didst give
Thine own life that we might live;
And the hands out­stretched to bless
Bear the cru­el nails’ im­press.
I would bless Thee ev­ery day,
Gladly all Thy will obey,
Like Thy bless­èd ones above,
Happy in Thy pre­cious love.

Loving Shep­herd, ev­er near,
Teach Thy lamb Thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my steps to stray
From the straight and nar­row way.
Where Thou lead­est I would go,
Walking in Thy steps be­low,
Till be­fore my Fa­ther’s throne,
I shall know as I am known.
