Faithful Shepherd Feed Me : Lyrics
1. Faithful Shepherd, feed me
In the pastures green;
Faithful Shepherd, lead me
Where thy steps are seen.
2. Hold me fast, and guide me
In the narrow way;
So, with thee beside me,
I shall never stray.
3. Daily bring me nearer
To the heav’nly shore;
May my faith grow clearer,
May I love thee more:
4. Hallow ev’ry pleasure,
Ev’ry joy and pain;
Be thyself my treasure,
Though none else I gain.
5. Day by day prepare me
As thou seest best,
Then let angels bear me
To thy promised rest.
