Oh, why should I wander
a stranger from Thee,
Or cry in the desert for bread?
My foes will rejoice
all my sorrows to see,
And smile at the tears I have shed.
Ye daughters of Zion,
declare, have you seen
The star that on Israel shone?
Say, if in your tents
my beloved has been,
And where with His flocks
He has gone.
Oh Thou, in whose presence
my soul takes delight
On whom in affliction I call;
My comfort by day
and my song in the night
My hope, my salvation, my all.
Where dost Thou at noontime
reside with Thy sheep
To feed on the pastures of love?
Say why in the valley of death
should I weep,
Or lonely the wilderness rove?
