To thee, my Shepherd and my Lord

1

To thee, my Shepherd and my Lord,A grateful song I'll raise;O, let the humblest of thy flockAttempt to speak thy praise.

2

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

3

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

4

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