Savior, Who Thy Flock Art Feeding

Savior

who Thy flock art feed­ing

With the Shep­herd’s kind­est care

All the fee­ble gent­ly lead­ing

While the lambs Thy bo­som share.

Now

these lit­tle ones re­ceiv­ing

Fold them in Thy gra­cious arm;

There

we know

Thy Word be­liev­ing

Only there se­cure from harm.

Never

from Thy pas­ture rov­ing

Let them be the li­on’s prey;

Let Thy ten­der­ness

so lov­ing

Keep them through life’s dan­ger­ous way.

Then with­in Thy fold eter­nal

Let them find a rest­ing place

Feed in pas­tures ev­er ver­nal

Drink the riv­ers of Thy grace.
