who your Father's flock does keep,
safe we wake and safe we sleep,
guarded still by you.
2 In your promise firm we stand,
none can take us from your hand;
speak— we hear— at your command,
we will follow you.
3 By your blood our souls were bought,
by your life salvation wrought;
by your light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow you.
4 Father, draw us to your Son;
we with joy will follow on
till the work of grace is done,
there to live with you.
5 We, in robes of glory dressed,
join th'assembly of the blest,
gathered to eternal rest
in the fold with you. Topics: Good Shepherd Scripture: John 10:11-18 Used With Tune: CAPETOWN
