The Gospel Awakening ‎#75

75. The Blessed Shepherd

1. Into pastures fresh and green,
Close beside the living stream,
'Neath the shadows of the rock,
There the Shepherd leads His flock.

Refrain:
From all perils He doth keep,
Blessed Shepherd of the sheep,
Blessed Shepherd of the sheep.

2. On the mountains' sunny side,
By the river still and wide,
In the forests' restful shade,
Thro' the wellworn pathway made. [Refrain]

3. Safe within the peaceful fold,
They are kept from heat and cold;
Ever kept from fear and harm,
And from all that would alarm. [Refrain]
