8.7.8.7.4.7 [1363]Dismissal (Sicilian Mariners): Sicilian Folksong; Pub., 1794 Anonymous, 1836 Savior, like a shepherd lead us, Much we need thy tender care; In thy pleasant pastures feed us; For our use thy folds prepare: Blessèd Jesus! Thou hast bought us, thine we are. 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: Blessèd Jesus! Let us early turn to thee. Early let us seek thy favour, Early let us learn thy will; Do thou, Lord, our only Savior, With thy love our bosoms fill: Blessèd Jesus! Thou hast loved us: love us still. Amen. |
