Praise to You and adoration,

Blessed Jesus, Son of God,

Who, to serve Your own creation,

Came to share our flesh and blood.

Guide me that I never may

From Your fold or pastures stray,

But with zeal and joy exceeding

Follow where Your steps are leading.

Hold me ever in Your keeping;

Comfort me in pain and strife.

In my laughter and my weeping

Be with me throughout my life.

Give me greater love for You,

And my faith and hope renew

In Your birth, Your life, and passion,

In Your death and resurrection.

Matthew 20:26-28 appears in the lines "Blessed Jesus, Son of God, / Who, to serve Your own creation, / Came to share our flesh and blood."  John 10:27-28 appears in the lines "Guide me that I never may / From Your fold or pastures stray, / But with zeal and joy exceeding / Follow where Your steps are leading," although there seems to be a bit of overlap with "stand[ing] firm and hold[ing] to the traditions" from the passage from 2 Thessalonians, too.

John 14:18 appears in the second verse, although from a different perspective:  "Hold me ever in Your keeping" and "Be with me throughout my life."  The comforting mentioned near the beginning of the verse ("Comfort me in pain and strife.") seems to come from 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17.
