Faithful Shepherd, feed me
In the pastures green;
Faithful Shepherd, lead me
Where Thy steps are seen.
Hold me fast, and guide me
In the narrow way;
So, with Thee beside me,
I shall never stray.
Daily bring me nearer
To the heav’nly shore;
Make my faith grow clearer,
May I love Thee more.
Hallow every pleasure,
Every gift and pain;
Be Thyself my treasure,
Though none else I gain.
Day by day prepare me
As Thou seest best,
Then let angels bear me
To Thy promised rest. Used With Tune: PASTOR PASTORUM Text Sources: The Gospeller, December 1868
