The Shepherd Master

Representative Text

1 The Lord is with us, let our courage falter not;
He leads the way before us; what have we to fear?
His everlasting arms are underneath us,
And his voice in ev’ry time of trial we may hear.

Refrain:
Where the Shepherd leads us,
We’ll follow all the way;
Where the Master needs us,
We’ll work for him today.

2 The foe, however strong, shall flee before us,
And the clouds that rise shall rifted be, and fade away;
His word of promise is: “I will be with thee;
I will go before, and lead thee in the perfect way.” [Refrain]

3 To do his perfect will our daily prayer shall be;
Wherever he may call or need us we will go;
A Shepherd, and a Master, kind and patient,
He will point the way, and grace abundant will bestow. [Refrain]
