Let not terrors haunt thee - The Good Shepherd
(Ray Palmer/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The Good Shepherd.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life." (John 10, 27-28)

1. Let not terrors haunt thee,
  let no foe alarm,
e'en death shall not daunt thee,
  nor hell do thee harm;
thy Lord, ever living,
  new strength for each hour
in thy need ever giving,
  shall gird thee with power. (PDF - Midi)

2. What though he may try thee
  as gold in the fire;
he will not deny thee
  thy fondest desire;
thy yearning he heedeth,
  thy love knoweth well,
and where he his flock feedeth,
  will bring thee to dwell.

3. Let gladness possess thee,
  let hope cheer thee still;
he reigneth to bless thee,
  thy cup he shall fill;
let faith, never failing,
  all peacefully rest,
till, his dear face unveiling,
  he maketh thee blessed.

1875.
