Verse 1

JESUS the good Shepherd is; Jesus died the sheep to save; He is mine, and I am His; All I want in him I have, Life, and health, and rest, and food, All the plenitude of God.

Verse 2

Jesus loves and guards His own; Me in verdant pastures feeds; Makes me quietly lie down, By the streams of comfort leads: Following Him where’er He goes, Silent joy my heart o’erflows.

Verse 3

He in sickness makes me whole, Guides into the paths of peace; He revives my fainting soul, Stablishes in righteousness; Who for me vouchsafed to die, Loves me still-I know not why!

Verse 4

Love divine shall still embrace, Love shall keep me to the end; Surely all my happy days I shall in Thy temple spend, Till I to Thy house remove, Thy eternal house above!
