Hymn 56

Melody
  1. Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,
    all thy lambs in safety keep;
    nothing can thy pow’r withstand,
    none can pluck them from thy hand.

  2. May they praise thee every day,
    gladly all thy will obey;
    like thy blessèd ones above,
    happy in thy precious love.

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

  4. Where thou leadest may they go,
    walking in thy steps below;
    then, before thy Father’s throne,
    Saviour, claim them for thine own.
