THE GOOD SHEPHERD




To thee, my Shepherd and my Lord,
A grateful song I 'll raise;
Oh, let the feeblest of thy flock
Attempt to speak thy praise!


But how shall mortal tongue express
A subject so divine?
Do justice to so vast a theme,
Or praise a love like thine?


My life, my joy, my hope, I owe
To thine amazing love;
Ten thousand thousand comforts here,
And nobler bliss above.


To thee my trembling spirit flies,
With sin and grief oppressed;
Thy gentle voice dispels my fears,
And lulls my cares to rest.


Lead on, dear Shepherd! — led by thee,
No evil shall I fear;
Soon shall I reach thy fold above,
And praise thee better there.


---Alternative verses---


My life, my joy, my hope, I owe
To this amazing love;
Ten thousand thousand comforts here,
And nobler bliss above.
