Jesus He be the good Shepherd
His sheep they hear, have heard
He knows them, they will Him follow
No stranger\'s voice they know
His nail-scarred hand showing the way
Lord keep us safe we pray
And as He walks His wounded feet
We see, mercy entreat
His side was pierced, His heart broken
In suffering for all men (mankind)
A Shepherd on a cross, my place
He took, and all, each race
Inspire us Lord, sheep to be bold
We members of your fold
You crucified, then rose again
Grant us fresh grace for when
When we follow you, self deny
And sense that you are nigh
None can take us out from your hand
Nor can your power withstand
Eternal life, life from the dead
You promise us, our Head
Be our Shepherd, our Leader, Guide
Here in our hearts reside
