1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us,
much we need thy tenderest care;
in thy pleasant pastures feed us,
for our use thy folds prepare.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
thou hast bought us, thine we are;
blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
thou hast bought us, thine we are.
2 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.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
hear, oh hear us when we pray;
blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
hear, oh hear us when we pray.
3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
poor and sinful though we be;
thou hast mercy to relieve us,
grace to cleanse, and power to free.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
early let us turn to thee.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
early let us turn to thee.
4 Early let us seek thy favour,
early let us do thy will;
blessèd Lord and only Saviour,
with thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
thou hast loved us, love us still.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
thou hast loved us, love us still.
