Lyrics

My sheep hear My voice,
And the path that I take,
They fol­low wher­ev­er I go;
My sheep know My voice
And come at my call,
But a stran­ger’s voice do they not know.

Refrain

My sheep know My voice,
And day by day
They abide in the fold
And go not as­tray,
They love Me be­cause
I have made them my choice,
And they fol­low My call
For My sheep know My voice.

My sheep know My voice,
And the pas­tures of green,
Where I lead them so oft­en to feed;
My sheep know My voice
And the cool spark­ling stream
Where be­side its still wa­ters I lead.

Refrain

My sheep know My voice,
And the val­ley of death
Through which I shall lead them some day;
But no dan­ger nor harm
Can touch one of them,
For I will be with them al­way.
