1 We will sing you a beautiful story,
In sweet Bible words it is told,
Of Jesus, the merciful Shepherd,
Who welcomes the lambs to his fold.
Refrain:
He shall feed his flock like a Shepherd,
And gather the lambs with his arm;
He shall carry them in his bosom,
And tenderly shield them from harm.
2 O Jesus, our merciful Shepherd,
We hear thy soft calling today;
Lead us in thy fair, blooming pasture,
And keep us from wand'ring away. [Refrain]
3 We will drink of the clear, springing fountains,
And rest in the arms of his love,
Til Jesus, dear Saviour, shall guide us
To evergreen pastures above. [Refrain]
