1. Sa- vior, who Thy flock art feed- ing With the Shep- herd's kind- est care, All the fee- ble gent- ly lead- ing, While the lambs Thy bos- om share.
 
2. Now, these lit- tle ones re- cei- ving, Fold them in Thy gra- cious arm; There, we know, Thy Word be- liev- ing, On- ly there se- cure from harm.
 
3. Ne- ver, from Thy pas- ture ro- ving, Let them be the li- on's prey; Let Thy ten- der- ness, so lov- ing, Keep them through life's dan- g'rous way.
 
4. Then with- in Thy fold e- ter- nal Let them find a rest- ing place, Feed in pas- tures ev- er ver- nal, Drink the riv- ers of Thy grace.
