ELW #789  Savior, like a Shepherd Lead Us
                   Verses 1-2

1	Savior, like a shepherd lead us;
	much we need your tender care.
	In your pleasant pastures feed us,
	for our use your fold prepare.
	Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
	you have bought us; we are yours.
	Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
	you have bought us; we are yours.

2	We are yours; in love befriend us,
	be the guardian of our way;
	keep your flock, from sin defend us,
	seek us when we go astray.
	Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
	hear us children when we pray.
	Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
	hear us children when we pray.

ELW #733  Great Is Thy Faithfulness

1	Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
	there is no shadow of turning with thee;
	thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not;
	as thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.

Refrain
	Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
	Morning by morning new mercies I see;
	all I have needed thy hand hath provided;
	great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

2	Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
	sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
	join with all nature in manifold witness
	to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.  Refrain

3	Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
	thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
	strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
	blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!  Refrain
