O Thou, good Shepherd, who Thy life
Gav'st to redeem Thy sheep,
Call us, by name, among the lambs,
And near Thee safely keep.
Here, may we love and know Thy voice,
And from the "stranger" flee:
Hereafter, in the heavenly fold
Safely gather us to Thee.
There hunger shall we know no more,
Thy gentle hand shall feed;
There shall we thirst no more, - Thou wilt
To living fountains lead.
And there shall be no night, no cloud,
But one eternal day;
And God Himself from every eye
Shall wipe all tears away.
