Lyrics: Dear gentle, watchful shepherd, you lead us as we graze, and guide, us when we wander, to find again your ways. And when we stray in darkness, alone and lost and weak, unseen, you still are with us, your dear ones whom you seek. We pray for those who struggle through life all on their own, who find no path to guide them, who think they are alone. You fold them in your mercy in every lonely place, and with your hand upon them you bless them with your grace. O lead us, loving shepherd to seek the last and lost, to love them with your passion, and serve at any cost. Send us to find the lonely, forgotten and ignored: it's there that we shall meet you, our saving, healing Lord. -
