Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep INNOCENTS—French melody, 13th C. (arr. J. Smith, 1800-1873) Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep 1 Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep, Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep; Nothing can Thy power withstand, None can pluck me from Thy Hand. 2 Loving Saviour, Thou didst give Thine own life that we might live, And the Hands outstretch’d to bless Bear the cruel nails’ impress. 3 I would praise Thee every day, Gladly all Thy Will obey, Like Thy blessed ones above Happy in Thy precious love.
