Savior, Who Thy Flock Art Feeding

from Johann Thommen's Musicalischer Christenschatz, Basel, 1745; Mühlenberg, William Augustus (1796-1877)

4 Verses Shepherd & Sheep Children's Hymn

Verse 1

Savior, who Thy flock art feeding With the Shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share.

Verse 2

Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; There, we know, Thy Word believing, Only there secure from harm.

Verse 3

Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them through life's dang'rous way.

Verse 4

Then within Thy fold eternal Let them find a resting place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.
