Jesus, my Shepherd, Friend, and Guide
Can dry my ev’ry tear;
Thy grace can raise my comforts high
And banish ev’ry fear;
Thy grace, how sweet the sound to me,
Thou art my all in all.
Dear Father, to Thy mercy seat,
My soul for shelter flies;
’Tis here I find a safe retreat
When storms and tempest rise;
He lives to bless me with His love,
And plead my cause above.
