Words Asc. To Dorothy A. Thrupp Music by Wm B. Bradbury
This beautiful hymn was sung by one of my precious sisters
(THANK YOU, Barb *_*) during the lighting of the unity candle
and the kneeling bench/prayer.
It is too perfect for a couple of sheep-loving Christians
beginning their lives together!!
Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou has bought us, Thine we are;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou has bought us, Thine we are.
We are Thine; do Thou 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.
Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still;
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Verse 3 was not sung in our wedding, but it is definitely noteworthy!
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.
Back to Our Wedding Music!
