Lyrics

Verse 1

The Good Shepherd calls and He knows me by name,

He walks out before me through praise and through blame;

He lays down His life for the sheep that He keeps,

and none of His own will be lost while He sleeps.

Chorus

Shepherd of my soul, lead me on,

through the quiet dark till the coming of dawn;

I'll follow Your voice over valley and knoll —

lead me home gently, O Shepherd of my soul.

Verse 2

The thief comes to steal and to scatter and slay,

but the Shepherd is guarding the gate and the way;

one flock and one Shepherd, one fold and one door —

He'll gather the wanderers from every shore.

Verse 3

When the pastures grow lean and the pathway is steep,

His promise still holds all the ones He would keep;

He counts every wound and He binds up the sore,

and leads through the darkness to open a door.

Bridge

I know that He knows me, I hear when He calls —

and safe in His keeping, this sheep never falls.

Chorus

Shepherd of my soul, lead me on,

through the quiet dark till the coming of dawn;

I'll follow Your voice over valley and knoll —

lead me home gently, O Shepherd of my soul.
