I have a Shepherd

I have a Shepherd, One I love so well; How he has blessed me tongue can never tell; On the Cross He suffered, shed his blood and died That I might ever in His love confide.

Pastures abundant doth His hand provide, Still waters flowing ever at my side; Goodness and mercy follow on my track, With such a Shepherd, nothing can I lack.

When labour's ended and the journey done, Then He will lead me safely to my home; There I shall dwell in rapture pure and sweet, With all the loved ones gathered round His feet.

Following Jesus, ever day by day, Nothing can harm me when he leads the way; Darkness or sunshine, whate'er befall, Jesus, the Shepherd, is my All in all.
