Lyrics
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
He leadeth me where life is fair
By pleasant paths, o’er tranquil sea
It is the Lord that leadeth me
His name I’ll praise till life shall cease
And end in everlasting peace
And then in heaven His praise I’ll sing
Before the throne of Christ my King
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
He leadeth me with tenderest care
And so I’ll follow, trusting still
He knoweth best, lead where He will
And when at last, by Jordan’s shore
I gaze the glimering landscape o’er
He’ll lead me through the gathering night
And fold me in eternal light
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
