91. Gracious Saviour, Gentle Shepherd

1 Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd,
Little ones are dear to thee:
Gathered with thine arms, and carried
In thy bosom may we be.

2 Tender Shepherd never leave us
From thy fold to go astray;
By thy look of love directed,
May we walk the narrow way.

3 Taught to lisp the holy praises
Which on earth thy children sing,
May we with thy saints in glory
Join to praise our Lord and King.
