The New English Hymnal ‎#282

282. Faithful Shepherd, feed me

1 Faithful Shepherd, feed me
In the pastures green;
Faithful Shepherd, lead me
Where thy steps are seen.

2 Hold me fast, and guide me
In the narrow way;
So, with thee beside me,
I shall never stray.

3 Daily bring me nearer
To the heavenly shore;
May my faith grow clearer,
May I love thee more.

4 Hallow every pleasure,
Every gift and pain;
Be thyself my treasure,
Though none else I gain.

5 Day by day prepare me
As thou seest best,
Then let angels bear me
To thy promised rest.
