Tune: Dominus Regit Me

John Chapter 10 pats

John\'s Gospel series (11)
Jesus, said He, Truly, truly
The door, gate of sheep-fold be
By Him if any enter in
They shall be saved, forgiven
The thief comes not, except to steal
To destroy, is set to kill
But Jesus has come that His sheep
May have life, He does them keep
And that they have life in fullness
More abundant, he shall bless
Them, for He is the good Shepherd
His voice true His sheep have heard
He good Shepherd, His life does give
That His sheep be saved and live
Hirelings care not for the sheep
They do not rejoice nor weep
For they to flock are indifferent
Only on hire are they sent
But Jesus, Good Shepherd, he cares
And in lives of His sheep He shares
His sheep hear His voice and follow
For thy recognise, do know
His voice, and them life eternal
He gives them, they shall not fail
Shall not fall nor perish, and nor
Shall they be taken e\'ermore
Out of His hand, for [His] Father gave
Them to Him, He does them save
For the Father, greater than all
All human plans shall fail, stall
For none can take sheep from His hand
He Lord of His sheep, each land
