109. The Good Shepherd

1 He is the shepherd, we his sheep who follow
Where o'er His blessed feet lead the way before us,
In all our wandering His tender love is o'er us
Guiding our onward way.

2 In the green pastures by the peaceful waters,
Rest all the happy ones whom the shepherd leadeth;
Hears He their faintest cry and never vainly pleadeth
Any who follow Him.

3 Many the dear lambs basking in Thy sunshine,
Here and in Heav'n above, blessed, blessed Jesus,
O Loving Shepherd, Thou whose watchful eye e'er sees us,
Make us of that blest fold.
