Jesus, Gentle Shepherd

J. H. Leslie • English

Primary Scripture: John 10:14

Verse 1

Jesus, gentle Shepherd, Hear our songs of praise, While to thee our voices Cheerfully we raise; We would be thy children, Keep us from all wrong; Jesus, gentle Shepherd, Listen to our song.

Verse 2

Guide us in the pathway Leading up to thee; Gentle, meek and lowly Ever may we be; Praise to thee we offer, For thy tender care; Jesus, gentle Shepherd, Hear our humble pray’r.

Verse 3

When our angry passions Tempt us far to stray, Bring us by thy spirit To the narrow way; Lead us safely onward, To the heav’nly shore; Jesus, gentle Shepherd, Save us evermore.
