E1:Sheph_erd of ten_der youth,/guid_ing in love and truth/through de_vious ways,/Christ, our tri_um_phant King,/we come your name to sing/and here our chil_dren bring/to join your praise.
E2:You are our ho_ly Lord,/Christ, the in_car_nate Word,/heal_er of strife./You did your_self a_base/that from sin's deep dis_grace/you might now save our race,/and give us life.
E3:You are the great High Priest,/you have pre_pared the feast/of ho_ly love;/and in our mor_tal pain/none calls on you in vain;/our plea do not dis_dain;/help from a_bove.
E4:O ev_er be our guide,/our sheph_erd and our pride,/our staff and song./Je_sus, O Christ of God,/by your en_dur_ing Word/lead us where you have trod;/make our faith strong.
E5:So now and till we die/sound we your prais_es high/and joy_ful sing:/inf_ants and all the throng/who to your Church be_long,/u_nite to swell the song/to Christ, our King!
