Verse 1

G                               C
Trouble and trials often betray those
G                       D7
On in the weary body to stray
G                                  C
But we shall walk beside the still waters
G             D7                   G
With the good shepherd leading the way

Verse 2

C
Those who have strayed were sought by the master
G                                 D7
He who once gave his life for the sheep
G                               C
Out on the mountain still he is searching
G             D7             G
Bringing them in for-ever to keep

Verse 3

C
Going up home to live in green pastures
G                                 D7
Where we shall live and die never more
G                             C
Even the Lord will be in that number
G                   D7            G
When we shall reach that heavenly shore

Verse 4

C
We will not heed the voice of a stranger
G                           D7
For he would lead us all to despair
G                           C
Following on with Jesus our Savior
G                  D7              G
We shall all reach that country so fair

Verse 3

C
Going up home to live in green pastures
G                                 D7
Where we shall live and die never more
G                             C
Even the Lord will be in that number
G                   D7            G
When we shall reach that heavenly shore
