¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :Christ, who once among us as a child did dwell, :Is the children’s Savior, and He loves us well; :If we keep our promise made Him at the font, :He will be our Shepherd, and we shall not want. ::::''2.'' :There it was they laid us in those tender arms, :Where the lambs are carried safe from all alarms; :If we trust His promise, He will let us rest :In His arms forever, leaning on His breast. ::::''3.'' :Though we may not see Him for a little while, :We shall know He holds us, often feel His smile; :Death will be to slumber, in that sweet embrace, :And we shall awaken to behold His face. ::::''4.'' :He will be our Shepherd after as before, :By still heavenly waters lead us evermore, :Make us lie in pastures beautiful and green, :Where none thirst or hunger, and no tears are seen. ::::''5.'' :Jesus, our good Shepherd, laying down Thy life, :Lest Thy sheep should perish in the cruel strife, :Help us to remember all Thy love and care, :Trust in Thee, and love Thee always, everywhere. '''Lyrics:''' William S. Bourne, 1868; first published in ''Hymns Ancient and Modern'', 1875.
