(verse 1)
B E
Trouble and trials often betray those,
B F#
On in the weary body to stray,
B E
But we shall walk beside the still waters,
B F# B
With the good shepherd leading the way,
(verse 2)
B E
Those who have strayed were sought by the master,
B F#
He who once gave his life for the sheep,
B E
Out on the mountain still he is seaching,
B F# B
Bringing them in forever to keep,
B E
Going up home to live in green pastures,
B F#
Where we shall live and die never more,
B E
Even the Lord will be in that number,
B F# B
When we shall reach that heavenly shore,
(verse 3)
B E
We will not heed the voice of a stranger,
B F#
For he would lead us all to despair,
B E
Following on with Jesuse our savior,
B F# B
We shall all reach that country so fair,
(chorus)
B E
Going up home to live in green pastures,
B F#
Where we shall live and die never more,
B E
Even the Lord will be in that number,
B F# B
When we shall reach that heavenly shore,
