1 By waters cool and sweet, From living fountains fed, My Shepherd leads my eager feet, To fresher meads ahead.
2 The tender verdure springs And blossoms where we stray; And at each step my glad heart sings, So sweet I find the way.
3 The heat of burning noons Is tempered to my need; And all His wisely given boons Are mine before I plead.
4 More of His love and care I learn from day to day, And more of His rich bounty share, As by His side I stay.
5 Dear Shepherd, if from Thee My erring feet should rove, O chide me kindly, tenderly, And bring me back in love.Source: The Cyber Hymnal #15126
