In Heavenly Pastures

In the heav’n­ly pas­tures fair

’Neath the ten­der Shep­herd’s care

Let us rest be­side the liv­ing streams to­day;

Calmly there in peace re­cline

Drinking in the truth di­vine

As His lov­ing call we now with joy ob­ey.

Glorious stream of life eter­nal

Beauteous fields of liv­ing green

Tho’ re­vealed with­in the word

Of our shep­herd and our Lord

By the pure in heart alone can they be seen.

Far from all the noise and strife

That dis­turb our dai­ly life

Let us pause awhile in si­lence and ad­ore;

Then the sound of His dear voice

Will our wait­ing souls re­joice

As He nam­eth us His own for­ev­er­more.

O how good and true and kind

Seeking His stray sheep to find

If they wan­der in­to dan­ger from His side;

Ever close­ly may we tread

Where His ho­ly feet have led

So at last with Him in Heav’n we may ab­ide.
