Shepherdof Israel, hear
The calling of thy flock,
And when we seek do thou be near
To lead us to the Rock
Where full and sheltered we
At noonday may repose
Or find at night security
From all our lurking foes!
Help us to trust thy careThrough green or barren waysAnd voice our doubts and fears in prayer,Our blessedness in praise!If thorns beset our path,To feel Thou leadest usIs sweet assurance goodness hathA loving purpose thus.
Help us to trust thy care
Through green or barren ways
And voice our doubts and fears in prayer,
Our blessedness in praise!
If thorns beset our path,
To feel Thou leadest us
Is sweet assurance goodness hath
A loving purpose thus.
Guide us by living streamsThat rise in mountain heightAnd up where wisdom’s heavenly beamsOur spirits bathe in light!Lead us to ranges high,To visions rich and broad,To pinnacles that touch the skyAnd help us know Thee, God!
Guide us by living streams
That rise in mountain height
And up where wisdom’s heavenly beams
Our spirits bathe in light!
Lead us to ranges high,
To visions rich and broad,
To pinnacles that touch the sky
And help us know Thee, God!
