When I need a tender shepherd,
Who will lead whate’er betide,
By the still or troubled waters,
Who will be my faithful guide?
Refrain
Jesus, how I love Him,
More than all the world beside!
Jesus, how I love Him!
He alone shall be my guide.
Who will lead me to the fountain
Where the soul is satisfied?
To the spring of love and mercy,
Who will be my faithful guide?
Refrain
When my erring footsteps falter,
Who in love will then abide?
Who will give me grace sufficient,
Who will be my faithful guide?
Refrain
Who, when twilight shadows gather,
Bids me on His bosom hide,
Till I wake in realms of glory,
There to meet my faithful guide?
Refrain
