Tune: Pastor Pastorum
(\'Faithful Shepherd, feed me\')
John 21 v.15-17
********
Christ did speak to Peter
Did with him confer
Saying, \'Do you love me
Sure and constantly?\'
Peter said, \'Yes, Lord you
Know I love, I do\'
\'Feed my lambs\', His reply
He ne\'er more to die
\'Peter, do you love me?\'
Second time said, see
\'Yes, Lord, you know I do\'
Peter replied too
Jesus said, \'Feed my sheep
Love them and them keep\'
Then third time Jesus said
He who rose from dead
\'Peter, do you love me?\'
Peter he grieved be
Replied, \'Lord you know all
I have heard your call\'
\'You know that I love you\'
Jesus said then, true
\'Feed my sheep\', you restored
Though denied me, [I your] Lord
