Lyics

WHILE my Redeemer's near,

MY Shepherd and my Guide,

I bid farewell to anxious fear;

My wants are all supplied.



To ever-fragrant meads,

Where rich abundance grows,

His gracious hand indulgent leads,

And guards my sweet repose.



Dear Shepherd, if I stray,

My wandering feet restore;

To thy fair pastures guide my way,

And let me rove no more.



Unworthy, as I am,

Of thy protecting care,

Jesus, I plead thy gracious name;

For all my hopes are there.
