262. Jesus is our Shepherd

1 Jesus is our Shepherd,
Wiping every tear;
Folded in his bosom,
What have we to fear?
Only let us follow
Whither he doth lead,
To the thirsty desert,
Or the dewy mead.

2 Jesus is our Shepherd;
Well we know his voice;
How its gentlest whisper
Makes our heart rejoice!
Even when he chideth,
Tender is his tone;
None but he shall guide us,
We are his alone.

3 Jesus is our Shepherd,
For the sheep he bled;
Every lamb is sprinkled
With the blood he shed.
Then on each he setteth
His own secret sign:
"They that have My Spirit,
These," saith he, "are mine."

4 Jesus is our Shepherd,
Guarded by his arm,
Though the wolves may rave,
None can do us harm.
When we tread death's valley,
Dark with fearful gloom,
We will fear no evil,
Victors o'er the tomb.
