oh, gentle shepherd

my soul is lost

so lonely and so cold

just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold

across the barren waste of sin i roam

oh

gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me home. the hours go by on frightened wings of flight

while wolves of hell are waiting for the night

to claim the soul that wandered from the fold

oh

gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soul. oh

gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry

and in thy cool green pastures let me lie

beside the still clear waters lead thou me

oh

gentle shepherd safe forevermore with thee.
