Yes, Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son,
Came down to take the sinner’s place
Jesus, all glorious names in one,
Died to redeem His chosen race.
He died to rescue fallen man,
And bled for sinners. here below;
Dear children, tell me if you can,
Do you this precious Saviour know?
For Jesus’ sheep delight to hear
Their loving Shepherd’s gentle voice;
His lambs have an attentive ear,
And in His sweet commands rejoice.
They follow where He leads the way,
And in His footsteps seek to tread;
They fear from Him to go astray,
Nor will by other hands be fed.
Now, then, dear children, tell me true,
Are you to this Good Shepherd known?
Is Jesus really feeding you,
And are you following Him alone?
