1 His flock the heav’nly Shepherd feeds,
By purling streams in flowery meads;
He guards them both by night and day,
And guides them lest they go astray.
2 Or if by Satan’s wiles misled,
They in forbidden paths should tread,
He timely warns them of their sin,
And turns their wandering feet again.
3 In danger He is always nigh,
No evil can escape His eye;
He calls His sheep, He knows their names,
And gently leads the tender lambs.
4 Beneath the shadow of a rock,
From scorching suns He screens His flock;
And should the prowling wolf appear,
They still are safe, for Christ is there.
