The Shepherd of Our Souls

O Christ, to You we have returned, The Shepherd of our souls; Who bore our sins upon the tree To heal and make us whole. |

To seek that forlorn, wayward sheep, You left the ninety-nine; The sinner on Your shoulders bore; Earth’s joy and heaven’s combine! |

To You who give eternal life, Good Shepherd, we give thanks; You know our names—as we Your voice— And hold us in Your hands. |

From many “folds” You led us out, To be one flock divine; Our Shepherd, Door, our Pasture too, Through You real rest we find. |

Dear Lamb, our Shepherd on the throne, You guide us all the way To springs of waters, founts of life; Each tear You wipe away. |

Jesus, Great Shepherd of the Church, How faithful is Your care— Inclusive, gentle, rich, and strong, Both present and fore’er. |

Grant us a shepherd’s heart, like Yours, With tenderest concern; To feed Your sheep, to nurse Your lambs, Of You we all will learn. |

May we be carers of men’s souls, With You, Chief Shepherd dear; A crown of glory we’ll receive, The hour when You appear. |
