Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep Songtext
Loving shepherd of thy sheep,
Keep me, lord, in safety keep;
Nothing can by power withstand,
None can pluck me from thy hand.
Loving shepherd, thou dist give
Thine own life that I might live;
May I love thee day by day,
Gladly thy sweet will obey. Loving shepherd ever near,
Teach me still thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my step to stray
From the straight and narrow way.
Where though leadest may I go,
Walking in thy steps below;
Then before thy father′s throne,
Jesu, claim me for thine own.
Keep me, lord, in safety keep;
Nothing can by power withstand,
None can pluck me from thy hand.
Loving shepherd, thou dist give
Thine own life that I might live;
May I love thee day by day,
Gladly thy sweet will obey. Loving shepherd ever near,
Teach me still thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my step to stray
From the straight and narrow way.
Where though leadest may I go,
Walking in thy steps below;
Then before thy father′s throne,
Jesu, claim me for thine own.
