Saviour Shepherd

Tune: St Denio [Series: Hymns to Saints Tunes 15]

('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')

John 10 v.14-18

********************

I am the good shepherd, Jesus said, and know

My sheep, and they know me, it is even so

As the Father knows me, even so I know

The Father, I lay down my life for sheep so

And other sheep have I, they not of this fold

Them also I must bring, I say, it be told

And they shall hear my voice, then there be one fold

Gathered in one shall be all ages, young, old

Therefore does my Father love me, because I

Lay down my life for the sheep, will for them die

I lay it down, that I might take it again

And be Saviour of all, women, children, men

No one takes my life from me, I it down lay

Of myself, I have power, I the Truth, Way

And the Life, and I have power it to take

Again, doing my Father's will for His sake
