Lead Me Shepherd

Representative Text

1 Lead me through the fields of sunshine
And the pastures green;
On Thy arms of love and mercy,
Let me ever lean.

Refrain:
Lead me, lead me,
O Thou blessèd One;
Lead me, lead me,
Lead me gently on.

2 Lead me, Shepherd, through the valleys,
Let I go astray
Lead me, kindly Shepherd, lead me,
To the perfect day. [Refrain]

3 Lead me through the night’s grim shadows,
To the perfect dawn
Of the day to which we’re hast’ning,
Lead me kindly on. [Refrain]
