Lambs of the Fold

Author: Wm. Baxter Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #34 (1867) First Line: Is Jesus a Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Is Jesus a Shepherd, As oft we are told? Then children that love him Are lambs of his fold. From wolves he will guard them, And never will cease To lead to green pastures By waters of peace. 2 Is Jesus a Teacher! Then by the same rule, The children that love him Belong to his school. The lessons he teaches So sweetly are told, That every child thinks them More precious than gold. 3 Is Jesus a Captain? His soldiers we are, His banner above us Bears Bethlehem's star. The foes that we fight are The world, flesh and sin; We trust through our leader The battle to win. 4 Is Jesus a Savior? Then sinners are we; But he from sin's bondage Our souls will set free; And when in the judgment Before him shall stand, We trust to be found at This Savior's right hand.
