54. My Shepherd

1 Christ Jesus is my Shepherd,
In righteous paths He leads;
He gives me joy and comfort,
And satisfies my needs;
His love is all around me,
It never can be told,
So matchless and unmeasured,
More precious far than gold.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus is my Shepherd,
His love can ne’er be told,
So matchless and unmeasured,
More precious far than gold.

2 I wandered in a desert,
Alone and lost and sad,
But Jesus sought and found me
And made my spirit glad.
I’ll hide me in His refuge,
And safely there abide;
His love will never fail me,
Whatever may betide. [Refrain]

3 His love is now so precious,
Since I am in His fold,
And in the book immortal
My happy name enrolled.
I tell Him all my sorrows,
I tell Him all my cares;
His loving arms enfold me
And all my griefs He bears. [Refrain]
