Safe in the Shepherd’s Care

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1904
Composer: Charles Pollock

Though be­neath the drift­ing snow

Summer flow’rs have been laid low

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care;

Tho’ the sun­beams hide away

On the dark and cloudy day

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care.

Safe in the ten­der She­pherd’s care

Safe on His bo­som He will bear

Those who trust His migh­ty love

Bear them to the land ab­ove

Safe in the Shep­herd’s ten­der care.

In green pas­tures I’ll be fed

By the qui­et wa­ters led

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care;

He will guide me to the fold

Sheltered from the win­try cold

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care.

Through the val­ley dark and deep

He will com­fort

He will keep

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care;

Happy in His sav­ing grace

Till I see His bless­èd face

I am safe in the ten­der Shep­herd’s care.
