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 are.
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, O hear us when we pray;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Hear, O hear us when we pray.
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.
Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our beings fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Here is a more contemporary version of the lyrics:
Savior like a shepherd lead us
Much we need Your tender care
In Your pleasant pastures feed us
For our use, Your folds prepare
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
You have bought us, Yours we are
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
You have bought us, Yours we are
We are Yours, please befriend us
Be the Guardian of our way
Keep Your flock from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
Hear O hear us when we pray
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
Hear O hear us when we pray
You have promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we are
You have mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse and power to free
Blesses Jesus, Blessed Jesus
You have loved us, love us still
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
You have loved us, love us still
