fondly, safely tended, From all want and dan-ger

free.

Gracious Saviour, Gentle Shepherd.

Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd,
Little ones are dear to Thee;
Gathered with Thine Arms, and carried
In Thy Bosom may we be;
Sweetly, fondly, safely tended,

From all want and danger free.

Tender Shepherd, never leave us
From Thy fold to go astray;
By Thy look of love directed

May we walk the narrow way;
Thus direct us, and protect us,
Lest we fall an easy prey.

Cleanse our hearts from sinful folly
In the stream Thy love supplied,
Mingled stream of Blood and Water,
Flowing from Thy wounded Side;
And to heavenly pastures lead us,

Where Thine own still waters glide.

Let Thy holy Word instruct us;
Guide us daily by its light;
Let Thy love and grace constrain us
To approve whate'er is right,
Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it,

Strengthened with Thy heavenly might.

Taught to lisp the holy praises

Which on earth Thy children sing,

Both with lips and hearts unfeigned

May we our thank-offerings bring;

Then with all the Saints in glory

Join to praise our Lord and King. Amen.

Draw the Gen-tiles un to Thee: Of Thy Cross the wondrous story

Let them see Thee

As of old Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,

Turned from home, and toil, and kindred,
Leaving all for His dear sake.

Jesus calls us from the worship

Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christain, love Me more."

In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
That we love Him more than these.

Jesus call us: by Thy mercies,

Saviour, make us hear Thy call,

Give our hearts to Thine obedience,

Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen.
