lyrics

Gracious Savior, Gentle Shepherd

Gracious savior, gentle shepherd
Our little ones are dear to thee
Gathered with thine arms and carried
In thy bosom may they be
Sweetly gently safely tended from all want
And danger free

Tender Shepherd never leave them
From thy fold to go a -stray
By thy look of love directed
May they walk the narrow way
Thus direct them
And Protect them
Lest they fall an easy prey

Let thy holy word instruct them
Fill their minds with heavenly light
Let thy love and grace constrain them
To approve what e’er is right
Take thine easy yoke and wear it
And to prove thy burden light

Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly
In the stream thy love supply
Mingled streams of blood and water
Flowing from thy wounded side
And to heavenly pastures lead them
Where thy own still waters glide
