My Shepherd!
\nBlessed thought!
\nBy Thee I’m bought.
\nBy Thee I’m sought and found;
\nUpon strong shoulders brought to heavenly ground.
\nMy Shepherd!<\/p>\n
My Shepherd!
\nBlessed hands!
\nThat broke sin’s bands.
\nThey brought Thy plans to birth
\nAnd rule and tend the ends of all the earth!
\nMy Shepherd!<\/p>\n
My Shepherd!
\nBlessed feet!
\nThy voice most sweet!
\nMy soul completely freed.
\nThen call my feet to follow where You lead,
\nMy Shepherd!<\/p>\n
My Shepherd!
\nBlessed head!
\nOnce stained with red;
\nOnce bowed to dread death’s wound.
\nNow risen from the dead; now glory crowned!
\nMy Shepherd!<\/p>\n
