126b. To thy pastures green and fair

1 To thy pastures green and fair,
Saviour, let a child repair;
I will never stray from thee,
But thy fold my home shall be,
But thy fold my home shall be.

2 Like a gentle lamb, I'll stay
In the meadows fresh and gay;
Peaceful and contented there,
Guarded by my Shepherd's care,
Guarded by my Shepherd's care.

3 By thy waters still and clear,
I shall wander without fear;
Happy by my Shepherd's side,
All my wants shall be supplied.

4 Lord, wilt thou my shepherd be?
Help me then to follow thee;
At thy feet myself I cast,
Thee to serve while life shall last.
