1. I’m a lamb of Jesus’ flock;
Untold blessings are my lot;
For my Shepherd gives protection;
Showers on me His affection;
And with peace and gentle love,
Calls to me from heav’n above.
2. Safe beneath His staff, I go
On my journey, to and fro,
Into pastures sweet and verdant,
Finding joys and food abundant;
And my thirst to quench, He knows
Where the sweetest fountain flows.
3. Shall I not then happy be?
Jesus loves me tenderly.
When my earthly days are ending,
With the angel host ascending,
In my Saviour’s arms I’ll be
Blest in all eternity!
Untold blessings are my lot;
For my Shepherd gives protection;
Showers on me His affection;
And with peace and gentle love,
Calls to me from heav’n above.

Jesus loves me tenderly.
When my earthly days are ending,
With the angel host ascending,
In my Saviour’s arms I’ll be
Blest in all eternity!
