395. Savior, like a shepherd lead us
Dorothy Ann Thrupp, 1779-1847
Published anonymously in the author’s Hymns for the Young, 1836. Dorothy Ann Thrupp was born and reared in London where she spent all her life. She had a special gift for writing hymns suited to the worship experiences of children. A modest person, always avoiding personal publicity. Miss Thrupp did not always receive full credit for her work. This hymn is sometimes wrongly credited to H. F. Lyte.
MUSIC. BRADBURY was written for this hymn and derives its name from the composer. It first appeared in a popular Sunday school book, Oriola, published in 1859 by W. B. Bradbury.
