A Shepherd Jesus is, so kind!
And all God’s sheep are His,
And by His power He leads them on
To everlasting bliss.
No eye but His could e’er survey
A flock so large, so vast;
No heart but His could seek and find,
And love unto the last.
No arm but His could it defend
From dangers all around,
And lead it to the pastures green,
Where living streams abound.
Large as the flock of Jesus is,
His power is greater far,
And every lamb amidst the flock,
His power and love doth share.
