116. THE FAITHFUL SHEPHERD, JESUS CHRIST

Previous
Next

​Author:  Georges Michel Mangold (1822-1894)
​Music Source:  Johann J. Vetter's Sammlung einiger christlichen Lieder für die Kinder, 1834

​1. The Lord, He is my shepherd true,
    Who leadeth me securely
    On pleasant pastures to and fro
    With joys and blessings surely.
    He leads me to the fount of life
    My soul to comfort and revive.
 
2. His Word is bread unto my soul,
    My inner man restoring.
    Upon life’s pilgrim journey here
    My heart to Him goes soaring.
    He safely leads me with His hand
    Through pilgrim’s dale to heaven’s land.
 
3. A mighty fortress is His name,
    Where succor never faileth.
    In daily conflict here on earth
    Where Satan’s might assaileth,
    I trust in my dear Shepherd’s might
    And to this stronghold take my flight.
 
4. Not merely ’gainst our flesh and blood
    This conflict is enacted;
    ’Gainst Satan’s whole infernal brood
    Our battle is directed.
    Yet I feel neither fear nor fright,
    For Jesus is my strength and might.
 
5. His staff is ever my support
    On pathways lone and dreary;
    My consolation is His Word;
    And, lest I might grow weary,
    A table is prepared for me
    In presence of mine enemy.
 
6. Lo, He anoints my head with oil
    And heals my wounded spirit;
    He stays my soul, and after toil
    He never fails to cheer it.
    He makes my cup to overflow
    That I, refreshed, may onward go.
 
7. This Shepherd ne’er forsakes His fold
    In joy nor yet in sorrow,
    But shares to us His love untold
    Each day and each tomorrow.
    Then let us follow to the end
    And with Him enter heaven’s land.
 
8. Then haste, this faithful Shepherd claim
    Whose care is ever present,
    Who calls His faithful ones by name
    To pastures green and pleasant.
    He finds them all where’er they roam;
    He leads the way and brings them home!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
