Shepherd of Tender Youth
- Shepherd of tender youth,
guiding in love and truth
through winding ways:
Christ, our triumphant King,
we come your name to sing;
here we our children bring
to shout your praise. - You are our holy Lord,
the all-subduing Word,
healer of strife:
you did yourself abase,
that from sin’s deep disgrace
you might now save our race,
and give us life. - You are the great High Priest,
you have prepared the feast
of heav’nly love:
while in our mortal pain,
none calls on you in vain;
help you do not disdain,
help from above. - Forever be our Guide,
our Shepherd and our pride,
our staff and song:
Jesus, O Christ of God,
by your enduring Word,
lead us where you have trod;
make our faith strong. - So now and till we die,
sound we your praises high,
and joyful sing:
infants and the glad throng
who to your church belong
unite to swell the song
to Christ our King.
