O Shepherd Beautiful

Mary Grant O'Sheridan • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 23:2

Verse 1

O Shepherd beautiful, I pray Thee, feed me, Forever in Thy beauteous pasture land; Where the living waters are I pray Thee lead me, By Thine own hand.

Verse 2

When comes the dawn, and dewy slopes are waking, And fragrant flow’rs unfold to greet the light, That thro’ the gold and rose of morning breaking, Dispels the night.

Verse 3

And from the hills Thy praises are ascending, A thousand voices, yea, a thousand more; All in one joyous jubilate blending, Their praise outpour.

Verse 4

O Shepherd beautiful, be near to guide me, Fill all my soul with love and praise to Thee; Let not my supplication be denied me, Grant me to see.

Verse 5

The shining of Thy footsteps in the river, To hear Thy voice far up the mountain side; "Put thou thy trust in Me, I will deliver: For thee I died."
