This setting was commissioned to honor the 25th anniversary of director Mary Prange's service to The Lutheran Chorale of Milwaukee. The final two stanzas are especially fitting for the last Sundays in the church year. https://online.nph.net/jesus-shepherd-of-the-sheep.html

A favorite hymn of Mary Prange, and of many Christians, the text by Henry Cook reminds Christians that they are in the ever-loving hands of their powerful and personal Savior, Jesus, being led safely to home with him in heaven forever. The setting is for SATB with piano. An a ca****la stanza with divisi captures both the serenity and exuberant joy of Jesus' sheep. For smaller choirs, instructions for optional accompaniment and no divisi are included in the score.
