Jesus, our wonderful Shepherd

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: James McGranahan

Jesus

our wonderful Shepherd

Brought us right out of the fold

Into His pasture so plenteous

Into His riches untold.

Glorious church life

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we’re dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.

In the divisions He sought us

Weary and famished for food;

Into the good land He brought us

Oh

to our spirit how good!

Jesus Himself is our pasture

He is the food that we eat;

We as His sheep are fed richly

Each time

whenever we meet.

Dwell we here on a high mountain

Wet with the morning-fresh dew

Slaking our thirst at the fountain

Water so living and new.

Christ is our rest and enjoyment

Here we have nothing to fear;

Here all the sheep dwell securely

Kept by His presence so dear.
