| Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us:
Much we need thy tender care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use thy fold prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us thine we are.
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,
Hear, O hear us, when we pray!
3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and power to free.
Blessed Jesus,
We will early turn to thee.
