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.
