THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
Reading edition
JESUS says that we must love him. Helpless as the lambs are we; But He very kindly tells us That our Shepherd He will be. Heavenly Shepherd, please to watch us, Guard us both by night and day; Pity show to little children, Who like lambs too often stray. We are always prone to wander: Please to keep us from each snare; Teach our infant hearts to praise Thee For Thy kindness and Thy care.
