267. Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us

1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
much we need Thy tender care;
in Thy pleasant pastures feed us;
for our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

2 Thou hast promised to receive us,
poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us;
grace to cleanse and pow'r to free.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
early let us turn to Thee.

3 Early let us seek Thy favor,
early let us do Thy will;
do Thou, Lord, our only Savior,
with Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast loved us; love us still.
