Author: J. E. Leeson Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #619 (1920) Hymnal Title: The Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lambs, in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy pow'r withstand;
None can pluck us from Thy hand.
2 Loving Saviour, Thou didst give
Thine own life that we might live;
And the hands outstretched to bless
Bear the cruel nails' impress.
3 We would praise Thee every day,
Gladly all Thy will obey,
Like Thy blessed ones above
Happy in Thy precious love.
4 Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach Thy lambs Thy voice to hear;
Suffer not our steps to stray
From the strait and narrow way.
5 Where Thou leadest we would go,
Walking in Thy steps below,
Till below our Father's throne
We shall know as we are known. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: BUCKLAND
