Troubles and trials often betray us Causing the weary body to stray But we shall walk beside the still waters With the Good Shepherd leading the way
Those who have strayed were sought by the master He who once gave his life for the sheep Out on the mountain still he is searching Bringing them in forever to keep
Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die nevermore Even the Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that heavenly shore
We shall not heed the voice of a stranger For he will lead us onto despair Following on with Jesus our Savior We shall all reach that country so fair
Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die nevermore Even the Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that heavenly shore
