[Shepherd of souls, the lambs and sheep]
That the saying might be fulfilled, which, &c.
—xviii. 9.
Shepherd of souls, the lambs and sheep
Thy tender love delights to keep
In every dangerous hour,
Thou hid'st us by Thy guardian love
Beyond the reach of sin, above
The world, and Satan's power.
Thy tender love delights to keep
In every dangerous hour,
Thou hid'st us by Thy guardian love
Beyond the reach of sin, above
The world, and Satan's power.
Safety and strength in Thee we have,
Thou wilt our souls and bodies save,
Who on Thine arm depend;
That arm omnipotent, Divine,
Which holds this feeble soul of mine,
Shall keep me to the end.
Thou wilt our souls and bodies save,
Who on Thine arm depend;
That arm omnipotent, Divine,
Which holds this feeble soul of mine,
Shall keep me to the end.
Me by Thy Father's love bestow'd
Thou wilt preserve, the gift of God,
Nor with Thy purchase part,
(Ready so oft to leave the fold,)
Thou wilt not quit Thy mercy's hold,
Or lose me from Thy heart.
Thou wilt preserve, the gift of God,
Nor with Thy purchase part,
(Ready so oft to leave the fold,)
Thou wilt not quit Thy mercy's hold,
Or lose me from Thy heart.
With me Thy Spirit shall abide,
And help, and influence, and guide,
Till all my course is run:
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee near,
Thou wilt my heavenly Life appear,
And take me to Thy throne.
And help, and influence, and guide,
Till all my course is run:
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee near,
Thou wilt my heavenly Life appear,
And take me to Thy throne.
