I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 10:11

Listening Together

Jesus is our Shepherd, wiping every tear;
Folded in His bosom, what have we to fear?
Only let us follow whither He doth lead,
To the thirsty desert, or the dewy mead.

Jesus is our Shepherd: well we know His voice,
How its gentlest whisper makes our hear rejoice;
Even when He chideth, tender is His tone:
None but He shall guide us; we are His alone.

Jesus is our Shepherd, for the sheep He bled;
Every lamb is sprinkled with the blood He shed:
Then on each He setteth His own secret sign:
"They that have My Spirit, these," saith He, "are Mine".
