Tune: Dominus Regit Me
('The King of love my Shepherd is')
John 10 v.27-30
**********
Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice
They love it, and do rejoice
And I know them, they follow me
Them I not e'er forsake, see
And I give to them eternal
Life, they shall ne'er perish, fall
Nor shall anyone from my hand
Snatch them, they bide in good land
My Father, who gave me my sheep
I will love, protect, them keep
My Father is greater than all
And my sheep do hear my call
No one is able to them snatch
Out of Father's hand, them catch
I and my Father we are one
He my Father, I His Son
