My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all no one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and the Father are One” (John 10:27-30).
Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep; Nothing can Thy power withstand None can pluck me from Thy hand I would bless Thee every day Gladly all Thy will obey Like Thy blessed ones above Happy in Thy perfect love Loving Shepherd, ever near Teach Thy lamb Thy voice to hear; Suffer not my steps to stray From the straight and narrow way Where Thou leadest I would go Walking in Thy steps below Till before my Father's throne I shall know as I am known
~ Jane Eliza Leeson & John Rutter ~ 1853
