Jesus is my gentle Shepherd,
Cherished & most precious, to be assured,

Come & lead me in Thy way,
Taking all my cares away,

Hold my hand in Yours so tight,
Let me feel Your power & might,

Gently guide me through the day,
Teaching me Thy loving way,

Comfort me when things get weary,
And, sunny days become so dreary,

Let me see Your light shine through,
With Your love so perfect & true,

Watch over me through the night,
Protecting me from evil plight,

You are my gentle Shepherd,
Cherished & most precious, to be assured !
