Shepherd of the Sheep

"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen" (Hebrews 13:20,21).

How good is the God of our peace,
Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead,
Whose mercies toward us never cease,
As by our great Shepherd we're led.

He's working His will in His own
And leading us on to perfection,
That in us His love may be shown,
By grace and by loving correction.

Great Shepherd, our Lord, and our Savior,
Come, lead us today in Your light,
Perfecting our will and behavior
To do what is right in Your sight.
