Author: Julia Sterling Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #83 (1908) First Line: He that guardeth Israel Refrain First Line: Like a shepherd He will guide Lyrics: 1 He that guardeth Israel
Slumbers not, nor sleeps;
Over all who trust in Him
Faithful watch He keeps.
Chorus:
Like a shepherd He will guide,
And for all our wants provide;
Ever cool and pleasant fountains,
Leading us beside.
2 In the changing scenes of life,
Jesus still is near;
Soothing with His gentle voice
Ev'ry anxious fear. [Chorus]
3 Oh, the riches of His grace,
And His wondrous love;
Songs at night He giveth us,
Songs from Heav'n above. [Chorus]
4 He will lead us by His hand,
When this life is o'er;
To the vales of joy and peace,
On the homeland shore. [Chorus] Topics: Children; Shepherd Languages: English Tune Title: [He that guardeth Israel]
