My soul is lost so lonely and so cold Just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold Across the barren waste of sin I roam Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me home Oh gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry And in Thy cool green pastures let me lie Beside the still clear waters lead Thou me Oh gentle shepherd safe forever more with Thee (The hours go by on frightened wings of flight While wolves of hell are waiting for the night) You claim the soul that's strayed from the fold Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soul (Gentle shepherd save my soul)
