555- Shepherd of Tender Youth

Christian Life: Guidance

1

  • Shepherd of tender youth,
  • Guiding in love and truth,
  • Through devious ways;
  • Christ our triumphant King,
  • We come Thy name to sing,
  • Hither our children bring
  • To shout Thy praise.

2

  • Thou art our holy Lord,
  • The all-subduing Word,
  • Healer of strife;
  • Thou didst Thyself abase,
  • That from sin's deep disgrace
  • Thou mightest save our race,
  • And give us life.

3

  • Thou art the great High Priest;
  • Thou hast prepared the feast
  • Of heavenly love;
  • While in our mortal pain
  • None calls on Thee in vain;
  • Help Thou dost not disdain,
  • Help from above.

4

  • Ever be Thou our Guide,
  • Our Shepherd and our pride,
  • Our staff and song;
  • Jesus, Thou Christ of God,
  • By Thy perennial word,
  • Lead us where Thou hast trod,
  • Make our faith strong.
