1.
Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep
Keep me, Lord in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy pow'r withstand,
None can pluck me from Thy Hand.
Loving Shepherd, Thou didst give
Thine own life that I might live;
May I love Thee day by day,
Gladly Thy sweet Will obey.

2.
Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach me still Thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my step to stray
From the strait and narrow way.
Where Thou leadest may I go,
Walking in Thy steps below;
Then before Thy Father's throne,
Jesus, claim me for Thine own.
