TENDERLY GUIDE US, O SHEPHERD
1. Tenderly guide us, O Shepherd of
love,
To the green pastures and waters
above,
Guarding us ever by night and by
day,
Never from Thee would we stray.
Chorus:
Never! … never! …
Never! Oh, never! For Thou art the
way;
Never! … never! …
Never from Thee would we stray.
2. What though the heavens with
clouds be o’ercast!-
Fearful the tempest, and bitter the
blast!
Still with the light of Thy Word on
the way,
Never from Thee would we stray.
3. Over our weakness Thy strength has
been cast;
Keep us in meekness Thy own till
the last;
Then, safely folded, with joy we
shall say,
Never from Thee would we stray.
