The Golden Sheaf ‎#86

86. The Good Shepherd

1 Jesus is our Shepherd,
Wiping ev'ry tear;
Folded in his bosom,
What have we to fear?
Only let me follow
Whither he doth lead,
To the thirsty desert,
Or the dewy mead,
To the thirsty desert,
Or the dewy mead.

2 Jesus is our Shepherd,
Well we know his voice;
How its gentlest whisper
Makes our heart rejoice!
Even when he chideth,
Tender is his tone;
None but he shall guide us,
We are his alone,
None but he shall guide us,
We are his alone.

3 Jesus is our Shepherd,
With his goodness now,
And his tender mercy,
He doth us endow:
Let us sing his praises
With a gladsome heart,
Till in heaven we meet him,
Nevermore to part,
Till in heaven we meet him,
Nevermore to part.
