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. 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. 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! 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!
