Shepherd of tender youth, guiding in love and truth
Through devious ways; Christ our triumphant King
We come Thy Name to sing and here our children bring
To join Thy praise
Thou art our holy Lord, O all subduing Word
Healer of strife. Thou didst Thyself abase
That from sin’s deep disgrace Thou mightest save our race
And give us life
Ever be Thou our guide, our shepherd and our pride
Our staff and song; Jesus, Thou Christ of God
By Thine enduring Word lead us where Thou hast trod
Make our faith strong
| |
So now, and till we die, sound we Thy praises high
And joyful sing; infants and the glad throng
Who to Thy church belong, unite to swell the song
To Christ, our King
Alternate verse:
Thou art the great High Priest; Thou hast prepared the feast
Of holy love; and in our mortal pain
None calls on Thee in vain; Help Thou dost not disdain
Help from above
