1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Who Thy Father’s flock dost keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by Thee.
Who Thy Father’s flock dost keep,
Safe we wake and safe we sleep,
Guarded still by Thee.
2 In Thy promise firm we stand,
None can pluck us from Thy hand,
Speak--we hear--at Thy command,
We will follow Thee.
None can pluck us from Thy hand,
Speak--we hear--at Thy command,
We will follow Thee.
3 By Thy blood our souls were bought,
By Thy life salvation wrought,
By Thy light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow Thee.
By Thy life salvation wrought,
By Thy light our feet are taught,
Lord, to follow Thee.
4 Father, draw us to Thy Son;
We with joy will follow on,
Till the work of grace is done,
And from sin set free--
We with joy will follow on,
Till the work of grace is done,
And from sin set free--
