The Tabernacle Hymns ‎#145

145. He is My Shepherd

1 I hear the voice of Jesus my Shepherd,
Calling me onward, upward each day;
Unto green pastures, by living waters,
Jesus is ever leading the way.

Refrain:
He is my Shepherd, true, tender Shepherd,
And His sweet voice I follow each day;
Safely He leads me, tenderly leads me,
And from His side I never will stray.

2 Tho’ I may walk the shadowy valley,
Nothing can harm me, nothing molest;
For His protection safe-guards my footsteps
Till I shall reach the homeland of rest. [Refrain]

3 He will not leave me, neither forsake me,
Under His care I safely abide;
Tho’ the storm gathers darkly around me,
Yet in His secret presence I hide. [Refrain]
