Jesus has promised my Shepherd to be

Jesus has promised my Shepherd to be,
That's why I love Him so;
And to the children He said, "Come to me,"
That's why I love Him so.

Refrain

That's why I love Him, That's why I love Him,
Because He first loved me;
When I'm tempted and tried.
He is close by my side,
That's why I love Him so.

He the weak lambs to His bosom will take,
That's why I love Him so;
Never will He for a moment forsake,
That's why I love Him so.

Refrain

He has in Heaven prepared me a place,
That's why I love Him so;
Where I may dwell, by His wonderful grace,
That's why I love Him so.
