1 Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep, keep me, Lord, in safety keep; nothing can Thy power withstand, none can pluck me from Thy hand. 2 Loving Shepherd, Thou didst give, Thine own life that I might live, May I love Thee day by day, Gladly Thy sweet will obey . 3 Loving Shepherd, ever near, teach me still Thy your voice to hear; suffer not my feet to stray from the straight and narrow way. 4 Where Thou leadest may I go, walking in Thy steps below; then, before Thy Father's throne, Jesus, claim me for Thine own.
