Much we need thy tender care
In thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use thy folds prepare

Thou hast bought us thine we are

Thou hast bought us thine we are
We are thine thou dost befriend us
Be the guardian of our way
Keep thy flock from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear O hear us when we pray
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear O hear us when we pray
Thou hast promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we be
Thou hast mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse and power to free
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee
Early let us seek thy favor
Early let us do thy will
