Jesus, our wonderful Shepherd
|
|
| 1. | Jesus, our wonderful Shepherd |
| | Brought us right out of the fold |
| | Into His pasture so plenteous, |
| | Into His riches untold. |
| | Glorious church life, |
| | Feasting from such a rich store! |
| | Here where we're dwelling in oneness |
| | God commands life evermore. |
| 2. | In the divisions He sought us, |
| | Weary and famished for food; |
| | Into the good land He brought us, |
| | Oh, to our spirit how good! |
| 3. | Jesus Himself is our pasture, |
| | He is the food that we eat; |
| | We as His sheep are fed richly |
| | Each time, whenever we meet. |
| 4. | Dwell we here on a high mountain, |
| | Wet with the morning-fresh dew, |
| | Slaking our thirst at the fountain, |
| | Water so living and new. |
| 5. | Christ is our rest and enjoyment, |
| | Here we have nothing to fear; |
| | Here all the sheep dwell securely, |
| | Kept by His presence do dear. |
