Oh thou good and faithful Shepherd,
Whose kind hand my breath sustains;
Still preserve through life’s dark passage,
Soften all my griefs and pains:
|: Gently lead me :|
In thy green and flowery plains.
In thy fold may I be numbered,
With thy humble chosen sheep;
Suffer me no more to wander,
There my souls in safety keep:
|: Be my guardian :|
Day and night, awake, asleep.
Let my Shepherd’s voice direct me,
Let me follow where he goes,
Till I reach the fold in glory,
Where the numerous flock repose:
|: The for ever :|
I shall be secured from foes.
