JI MET the Good Shepherd but now on the plain, As homeward He carried His lost one again;

I marvelled how gently His burden He bore, And, as He passed by me, I knelt to adore.

HOME, SWEET HOME.

O Shepherd, Good Shepherd, Thy Wounds they are deep,

The wolves have sore hurt Thee in saving Thy sheep; Thy raiment all over with crimson is dyed, And what is this rent they have made in Thy Side?

I I NEED Thee, precious Jesu, For I am full of sin;

My soul is dark and guilty,

My heart is dead within.

I need the cleansing Fountain

Where I can always flee,

The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea.

2 I need Thee, precious Jesu,

For I am very poor;

BI

A stranger and a pilgrim,

I have no earthly store.

I need the love of Jesus

To cheer me on my way,

To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay.

3 I need Thee, precious Jesu:

I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me.

3 Ah, me! how the thorns have entangled Thy Hair, And cruelly riven that Forehead so fair! How feebly Thou drawest Thy faltering Breath! And lo, on Thy Face is the shadow of death!

4 O Shepherd, Good Shepherd! and is it for me This grievous affliction has fallen on Thee?

Ah, then let me strive, for the love Thou hast borne, To give Thee no longer occasion to mourn!

Amen.

I need the Heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble, And all my sorrow share.

4 I need Thee, precious Jesu, I need Thee, day by day, To fill me with Thy fulness, To lead me on my way; I need Thy Holy Spirit

To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb.

5 I need Thee, precious Jesu,

And hope to see Thee soon,

Encircled by the Rainbow

And seated on Thy Throne: There, with Thy Blood- bought children, My joy shall ever be,

To sing Thy praises, Jesu,

To gaze, my Lord, on Thee. Amen.
