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.
