Lyics

Yes, our Shepherd leads with gentle hand,

Thro' the dark pilgrim-land,

His flock so dearly bought,

So long and fondly sought;

Hallelujah!



When in clouds and mists the weak ones stray,

He shows again the way,

And points to them afar,

A bright and guiding star:

Hallelujah!



Tenderly he watches from on high,

With an unwearied eye;

He comforts and sustains, 

In all their fears and pains:

Hallelujah!



Yes, his little flock is ne'er forgot,

His mercy changes not;

Our home is safe above,

Within his arms of love:

Hallelujah!
