Lyics

Now may the Lord our Shepherd lead

To living streams his little flock;

May he in flowery pastures feed,

Shade us at noon beneath the rock!



Now may we hear our Shepherd's voice,

And gladly answer to his call;

Now may our hearts for him rejoice,

Who knows, and names, and loves us all.



When the Chief Shepherd shall appear,

And small and great before him stand,

O, be the flock assembling here

Found with the sheep on his right hand!
