Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep

Jane Eliza Leeson • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 23:1-3

Verse 1

Loving Shepherd of your sheep, all your lambs in safety keep; nothing can your power withstand, none can pluck them from your hand.

Verse 2

May they praise you ev'ry day, gladly all your will obey, like your blessed ones above, happy in your precious love.

Verse 3

Loving Shepherd, ever near, teach your lambs your voice to hear; suffer not their steps to stray from the straight and narrow way.

Verse 4

Where you lead them may they go, walking in your steps below; then, before your Father's throne, Savior, claim them for your own.
