Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us

A hymn with a mysterious history – was it written by a young Sunday school teacher, or a famous poet? Either way, the words of worship for our wonderful Shepherd are wonderful to sing.

LYRICS

1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we Care.

2 We are Thine; do Thou befriend us
Be the Guardian of our way
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray

3 Thou hast promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we be
Thou hast mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse, and pow'r to free
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee

4 Early let us seek Thy favor
Early let us do Thy will
Blessed Lord and only Savior
With Thy love our bosoms fill
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast lov'd us, love us still
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast lov'd us, love us still
