Lyics

Yes, 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!
