Like a shep­herd good and kind,
The Lord is ev­ery day;
From the tem­pest fierce and wild,
He guards the ho­li­est way.
Pressed against His bo­som warm,
The ten­der lambs may lie;
There they hear no ga­ther­ing storm,
They see no an­gry sky.

Refrain

O Shep­herd, kind and good,
O Shep­herd, fond and true,
Do Thou our foot­steps guide,
O Shepherd, kind and true.

Close be­side the wa­ters still,
Or in the pas­tures fair,
There His sheep He leads at will,
With ten­der lov­ing care.
Even thro’ death’s qui­et vale,
His flock may fear­less go,
For His love will ne­ver fail,
His child­ren here be­low.

Refrain

Oh, His good­ness fol­lows us
Thro’ all our pil­grim days;
Yea, His lov­ing care has guard­ed
Us thro’ de­vi­ous ways.
When at last in Hea­ven high,
We reign with Him above,
Hallelujahs to the Lamb,
We’ll sing in strains of love.

Refrain
