HYMN 717

D 8s 7s or 8s 7s
Tune: What a friend we have in Jesus


1.  SAVIOUR like a shepherd lead us

     Much we need Thy tender care 

     In Thy pleasant pastures feed us

     For our use Thy folds prepare 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

     Thou hast bought us, Thine we are 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

     Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.


2.  We are Thine, do Thou befriend us 

     Be the Guardian of our way

     Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us 

     Seek us when we go astray 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus 

     Hear Thy children when they pray 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

     Hear Thy children when they pray.


3.  Thou hast promised to receive us

     Poor and sinful though we be

     Thou hast mercy to relieve us

    Grace to cleanse, and make us free

    Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

    Early let us turn to Thee 

    Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

    Early let us turn to Thee.


4.  Early let us seek Thy favour

     Early let us do Thy will

     Blessed Lord and only Saviour

     With Thy love our bosoms fill 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

     Thou hast loved us, love us still 

     Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus

     Thou hast loved us, love us Still.  Amen
