About Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us / Bring Them In
This beautiful pairing of two classic hymns centers entirely on the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd. "Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us" opens the arrangement as a gentle, trusting prayer for guidance and protection. It is a staple in many Nigerian parishes, often sung during the Offertory or Communion when the congregation reflects on their dependence on God’s tender care and provision.
The mood shifts with "Bring Them In," moving from a quiet prayer of the flock to an active call to ministry. Here, the choir takes up the urgent mission of seeking out the lost and wandering sheep. The lively refrain is a favorite for stirring up the congregation, reminding everyone in the pews that they too are called to help gather souls from the "fields of sin" back into the safety of the Master's fold. Together, these pieces offer a complete picture of Christian discipleship: first being led by the Shepherd, and then joining Him in the work of salvation.
