1 Lead us to still waters
where the poor may come
where the thirsty gather
finding help and home.
Lead us to green pastures
where we may lie down,
finding peace and blessing
on your holy ground.

2 Save us from oppression,
from the tyrant's hand,
from the cry of vengeance
in our native land.
If we lack compassion,
lend us what we need,
love that knows no limit,
faith that plants a seed.

3 Carry us to safety
when our strength is gone,
when our faith is shaken,
turn us toward the dawn.
Lead us through the desert
to your living spring,
to your rock of refuge
where the righteous sing.
