Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
We are Thine, Thou dost befriend us,
Be the guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse and power to free.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
We will early turn to Thee.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
We will early turn to Thee.
Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessèd Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
A lovely lovely hymn, Ellen. Thank you for the reminder.
Many years ago a middle aged couple were sitting in our church and as we were singing this song God spoke in a powerful way through the words and the man(who had wandered far away from God) was convicted to turn his life around. I will always remember this experience. We never know what it will take to soften someone’s hard heart.
I am not familiar with this hymn, beautiful!
Hugs,
Jann
I love this hymn! It’s been a long time since I had heard it but the melody came right back to me.
Thanks for sharing it!
This was sung by my twin aunts at our wedding!
