I’m in the mood for ‘Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us’ tonight. I used to sing this song with my old musical group. We generally didn’t do it in performances, just for our own pleasure, because it works really well in four parts. This rendition is quite nice. It comes from the choir of Weimar University, of which I know nothing.
It’s assumed the hymn was written by Dorothy A. Thrupp. It was published with her tune in 1840 in London.. Historians assume she wrote the words too, but she took no credit. The tune we use was written by William Bradbury.
I needed this hymn tonight, for reasons I won’t go into. Mostly just the mood I’m in.
That’s marvelous–one of the best hymns and terrific performance.
For me, “All the Way, My Savior Leads Me” is linked to “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” and I like to sing them together.
This is probably my favorite version — because of the images, it has lyrics to help the kids and I sing along, and because it is from a Korean church and reminds me of the world wide body of Christ.
