LyicsYes, our Shepherd leads with gentle hand,
Thro' the dark, pilgrim land;
His flock so dear-ly bought,
So long and fondly sought,
Hal-le-lu-jah!
When in clouds and mist the weak ones stray,
He show a-gain the way,
And points to them a-far,
A bright and guiding star,
Hal-le-lu-jah!
Tenderly he watches from on high,
With an un-wearied eye'
He comforts and sus-tains,
In all their fears and pains,
Hal-le-lu-jah!
Yes, his little flock is ne'er for-got,
His mer-cy changes not;
Our home is safe a-bove,
With-in his arms of love,
Hal-le-lu-jah!
