Author: Dorothy A. Thrupp, 1779-1847 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #379 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, blessed 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:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, O 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 pow'r to free:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Early let us turn to Thee;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Early let us turn to Thee.
4 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
