A Shepherd Among Us is a moving new sacred hymn by Stephen DeCesare, written to the cherished public domain melody Be Thou My Vision. Created for occasions when a priest concludes his ministry in a parish, the text gives thanks for the preaching of the Gospel, the celebration of the Eucharist, and the loving care of a shepherd who has faithfully served God’s people. Perfect for priestly farewells, retirements, transfers, and anniversaries of ordination, this hymn offers a prayer of gratitude while keeping Christ at the center of the Church’s mission and ministry.
