The Good Shepherd

S.M.

1
Green pastures and clear streams,
Freedom and quiet rest,
Christ’s flock enjoy, beneath His beams,
Or in His shadow blest.

2
Secure amidst alarms
From violence or snares,
The lambs He gathers in His arms
And in His bosom bears.

3
The wounded and the weak
He comforts, heals, and binds;
The lost He came from heaven to seek,
And saves them when He finds.

4
Conflicts and trials done,
His glory they behold,
Where Jesus and His flock are one,
One Shepherd and one fold.

5
When the last trump shall sound,
And graves break up their sleep,
At His right hand they will be found,
They are His chosen sheep.
