you will safely lead me,
in green pastures feed me,
knowing what is best.
though i often stray,
wander far away,
i can hear you say,
"Come to me and rest."
though the path be rough and rugged,
though the trail be dark and steep,
still the gentle Shepherd
watches over His sheep.
there's no need to fear
when the Shepherd's near.
when your voice i hear,
i find comfort sure.
free from all alarm,
sheltered from all harm
safely in your arms
i can rest secure.
with the flock abiding,
all my need supplying,
comforting and guiding,
leading all the way,
all the way!
Jesus loving Shepherd,
You'll forsake me never,
in your flock forever,
i am not alone.
though the darkness hide thee,
you are close beside me.
gentle Shepherd guide me
till i'm safely home.
till i'm safely home.
