Jesus Is Our Shepherd (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1864
Composer: Sylvester Main

Jesus is our shep­herd

On His faith­ful breast

Safe from ev­ery dang­er

We His flock may rest;

By the cool­ing stream­let

In the val­ley fair

He will gent­ly lead us

By His ten­der care.

Jesus is our shep­herd

In the dewy mead

And the ver­dant mea­dow

He His flock will feed;

He will ne’er de­sert us

To the tempt­er’s pow­er

He will kind­ly cheer us

In the dark­est hour.

Jesus is our shep­herd

He the liv­ing way

From His fold of mer­cy

May we nev­er stray;

When our hearts are way­ward

When our steps would rove

Bind us

gen­tle Shep­herd

With Thy chain of love.
